Procedure:
Boil 1 liter of water on one stove.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan on another stove. Once hot, add mustard seeds, followed by cumin seeds. When mustard seeds crackle, add ginger, green chilies, peas, and 1 cup of cracked wheat. Fry for 7-10 minutes on medium to high flame, stirring continuously.
Once the cracked wheat fries, add sour curds and stir for 3 minutes.
Add the boiling water to the mixture and cook for 10 minutes or until the water evaporates.
Crumble fresh homemade paneer and mix it into the cooked upma for added nutrition.
Serve and enjoy your nutritious Nutri-cracked wheat upma!
