| 1. Heat a wok or kadai, spray with butter flavored cooking spray and add semolina. You can also use 1 tsp ghee instead of cooking spray for a more fragrant (albeit higher fat) version. | 2. Roast, stirring occasionally until fragrant (about 7-8 minutes). | 3. Take out semolina and keep aside. | 4. After wiping off the hot pan to remove leftover semolina grains, add the oil. | 5. When oil is hot, add the tempering ingredients - mustard seeds, cumin seeds. If you wish you may also add spilt urad dal. | 6. When mustard seeds sputter, stir in chopped onions, ginger, curry leaves and green chilies. Note that you can deseed the chilies if you don't want any heat. | 7. In the meantime, bring the 2 cups of water to boil and add salt to it. | 8. Back to your wok, stir regularly and when the onions are transparent add diced tomatoes and let cook for a couple of minutes. | 9. When tomatoes are cooked, add the roasted semolina you kept aside earlier and mix well. | 10. Pour boiling salted water over this mixture, give a quick stir and cover with lid. | 11. Let it cook for 3 minutes on low flame. Then take off lid and add chopped cilantro, cashews and 1 Tbsp grated coconut. Mix well. | 12. Take off heat, and serve hot garnished with the remaining tablespoon of grated coconut and a sprig of fresh cilantro. | 13. NOTE 1: Don't over-roast the semolina or it won't cook well. | 14. NOTE 2: Possible additions - grated carrots, fresh green peas, roasted peanuts. You could also add 2 tablespoons cashews (roasted pieces) and/or 2 tablespoons coconut (grated fresh) along with the cilantro. | 15. NOTE 3: If you try to add salt after you take the upma off heat, it won't incorporate very well. So I suggest tasting the upma just before you add cilantro etc. and add more salt if you wish. Make a note of how much salt your family prefers, and next time add the entire amount to the water. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
