Broken wheat (godhuma rava) was not my favorite things to eat growing up. I preferred rava upma to this. My mom used to make this with just onions and tadka. I never liked it that way. Once I started cooking myself, I tried making this the same way as I would do a rava (sooji) upma with lots of veggies and I suddenly I became a fan. Now that I come to think of it, I do not know why I did not like this earlier. It tastes great and it is good for you.
I have posted the recipe for both the stove top version and OPOS version here. OPOS cooking is the famous one pot one shot pressure cooker technique founded by Mr.Ramakrishnan. I have already spoken about spoken about OPOS in some of my previous posts. Cooking this the OPOS way is so so much easier! I do it all the time, especially during the weekends when I do not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It tastes just like it would, if you did it in the stove top. I just wish we would get the crispy bottom part that we get when we do it in the stove top method. We do not have that in the OPOS version:)
This upma is a great way to start your day. I personally would eat it any time of the day! You could add veggies of your choice in this and use extra spices if you wish. I like it this way. It is simple and comforting.
Broken wheat cooked with veggies south Indian style
Add the rest of the ingredients (veggies, onion, water, salt, coriander leaves), the tadka prepared in the previous step, to a pressure cooker and cook it in a high flame for 1 whistle. (You will not be adding the broken wheat to the cooker. Everything else goes in)
For people who do not like broken wheat but still wish to include it in their diet, you can add half cup of broken wheat and substitute the other half with rava (sooji ).
