Upma is basically a dish of South India and can be made according to preferences and availability of time. If you have time you can make a nutritious Upma with all the veggies, but if lack of time, then Onion and tomatoes are the saviours...

Suji (Semolina)
Mustard Seeds
Cooking Oil
Chopped Onions (2)
Chopped Tomatoes (2)
Chopped Carrot (1)
Chopped Capsicum (half)
Salt
Red chilly powder
Hot water (2 glasses)

Procedure:
1. Put a bowl full of Suji (Semolina) in a deep fry pan
2. Keep stirring it on a high flame till the suji (semolina) turns light brown
3. Meanwhile, in another pan put a little cooking oil & mustard seeds and let it heat
4. Put onions, wait for them to turn soggy, then put all the other cut vegetables, salt and red chilly powder in the pan
5. Once the vegetables become soggy and look cooked, put suji (semolina) in it
6. Keep stirring for 3-4 mins; then pour hot water in it
7. Suji (semolina) absorbs water immediately and upma is now ready to eat!

You can add lemon juice on top to add taste.
