Step 1
Dry roast the 1 cup semolina in a pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in the same pan. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and 2 tbsp chana dal; cook until seeds pop and dal turns golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add 10 curry leaves and 1 cup mixed vegetables. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender.
Step 4
Pour in 2 cups water and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
Step 5
Slowly stir in the roasted semolina, mixing constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until water is absorbed and upma is fluffy, about 5 minutes. Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
