Goduma Nooka Upma (Bulgar Upma)

Upma is a very common breakfast in the south. Unlike idli and dosa this does not need prior planning. Upma can be made with lots of variations. One of the upmas I like for its wonderful texture and high fiber content is Bulgar upma. You can find bulgar in most Indian stores, middle eastern stores carry it for sure.



1 cup bulgar
2 cups water
1 small onion sliced
2 green chillies
½ inch ginger finely chopped
2 tsp oil
Salt to taste

For Seasoning:
½ tsp mustard
½ tsp cumin
1 tsp urad dal
1 tsp channa dal
Curry leaves

Heat oil in a pan, add seasoning, when dal looks roasted add onions, green chillies and ginger.

Fry till the onion looks transparent.

Add water and salt and bring it to a boil.

Add bulgar and let it cook on medium for few minutes.

Reduce the flame and cover the pan. Leave until the water is all evaporated and bulgar is thoroughly cooked.
