Nothing great or new, still thought in case anybody wants to make...(This I flicked from Lakshmi's recipes list :-) )
Ingredients:
Upma Rava - 1 ½ cups
Fresh green peas - ½ cup
Onion (small) - 2 nos.
Green chillies - 5 nos.
Curry leaves - 20 nos.
Ginger - 2 inch piece
Mustard seeds - ½ tsp.
Bengal gram dhal - 2 tbsp.
Oil - 3 tbsp.
Ghee - 2 tbsp.
Water - 4 ½ cups (@ 1:3 ratio of Rava and water)
Salt - 2 tsp.
Method:
Pre preparation:
Wash ginger, green chillies and curry leaves.
Wash peas.
Remove skin of onions and wash.
Chop onions finely.
Cut green chillies into 2 cm pieces.
Grate ginger.
Dry roast upma rava till it gives a pleasant flavour.
Preparation:
Heat kadai (deep frying pan) and add 3 tbsp of cooking oil. (I prefer ghee instead..its more traditional )
When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, Bengal gram dhal and fry till dhal turns golden brown.
Add chopped onions and fry for a minute.
Add grated ginger, curry leaves and green chillies. Mix well.
Add green peas. Keep stirring for two minutes.
Add water, salt and one tbsp of ghee. Allow water to boil.
Add rava slowly to the boiling water while stirring continuously till a soft consistency is reached. Add remaining
ghee and mix well.
Switch off the flame.
Tips:
Serve hot with recd chillies pickle or ginger pickle.
Can add cashew nuts in place of peas for that extra fat!, though adding peas gives a good amino acid combination (good quality protein ).
(Me: I love garnishing with coriander though)
No. of servings:
Can serve 3 adults for breakfast.

Nicely written and with enough details. Tried this upma for breakfast and came out pretty good. Added a few tomatoes along with peas and it worked well.
Information on nutrition aspect was very good. There has been pretty easy complaint against veggies like us of not taking in more of Protein (dont know if thats really true!) when compared to carbohydrates. So Vishwa my request would be to through in more of Protein rich veg recipe's.
