Start your day with Atukula Upma, a traditional Indian breakfast that's light, nutritious, and satisfying. This healthy vegetarian dish is family-friendly and works well for calorie deficit and clean eating goals.
Rinse 1.5 cups of flattened rice (poha) in a colander under running water until softened; set aside to drain completely.
Heat 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; once hot, add 1 tsp mustard seeds and 0.5 tsp cumin seeds, waiting until they splutter.
Add 8 curry leaves, 2 sliced green chilies, and 1 tsp grated ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic, being careful not to burn the spices.
Stir in 0.75 cups finely chopped onion; cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add 0.5 cups diced carrot and 0.33 cups green peas. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender but remain slightly crisp.
Reduce heat to low; sprinkle 0.25 tsp turmeric powder and 0.75 tsp salt, then gently add the rinsed poha, mixing to combine without breaking the flakes. Cover and steam for 2 minutes for even moisture distribution.
Switch off the heat; squeeze in juice from 0.5 lemon and fluff the upma with a fork. Serve warm for best texture.
