Upma is best for breakfast
Upma is considered a great option for morning breakfast. It is prepared quickly and is good for taste as well as health. But many people complain that home-made upma often turns sticky or heavy. The reason for this is not preparing semolina properly and wrong ratio of water. If you want your upma to always be light, grainy and chewy, then definitely follow a small kitchen secret.

Top secret of making Khilkhila Upma
To make Khilakhila Upma, the most important thing is to have the right ratio of semolina and water and it should be 1:3. If you are taking 1 cup of semolina then you will have to add exactly 3 cups of water in it. If you like a little more dry and grainy upma, you can also keep the water at two and a half cups. Before making upma, fry the semolina on low flame without ghee or oil for 4-5 minutes. Its color should not change, only a pleasant fragrance should come from it. After this, fry mustard seeds, curry leaves and vegetables and add water after measuring it and let the water boil. Add salt and a little lemon juice to the boiling water itself. When the water is boiling, slow down the flame and slowly add semolina into it and keep stirring. After adding all the semolina, keep stirring it so that lumps do not form in it. After this, add 1 teaspoon desi ghee on top. Let us tell you that ghee does not allow the semolina grains to stick together. When the semolina absorbs all the water, turn off the gas and keep it covered for 5-6 minutes. After this, add some grated coconut and finely chopped coriander on it. Then serve semolina.
