<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>U</strong>pma is originally from South India and is a popular breakfast across India. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There are many ways of preparing upma. Today, I am blogging what I call the Andhra style upma recipe. I have noticed a lot of difference in the upma that is made in Maharashtra and Andhra. In Maharashtrian upma, we add sugar and the upma is a bit thick. But in Andhra most of the times, I have had upma in restaurant's which was quite different in taste, texture, and a bit liquidy. It was also served with a special chutney that adds to the taste of this upma and is called <a href="http://shwetasrecipes.blogspot.in/2012/07/tomato-chutney-tomato-pachadi.html" target="_blank">tomato pachadi</a> which I just loved. So at Home, I make two types of upma one is the Maharashtrian style upma ...and the other one is the Andhra style upma...which I am blogging today.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mooli Paratha, is popular in most regions of Northern India and the Punjab.</span><br />

tava/ kadai, (If you are using non-stick tava, no need of greasing it, you can
add oil later). Take a hand full ball of dough and pat it on the tava. Using your
palm and fingers flatten the dough into a round even disk of 1/2 inch thickness.
Make 5 small holes to thalipeeth so that it can cook evenly.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You can apply some oil on your

<span itemprop="summary" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mixed vegetable sagu is a popular dish in most parts of South India. This dish goes well with puris, Chapati, dosas, appam, and rice. The first time I had this dish was in one of the restaurants in Hyderabad and just loved it. Tried it many times at home and finally came up with this recipe. There are various ways of making sagu, but this is how I prepare it.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><u>To make vegetable sagu:</u></em></span></div>

</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Spread 1 table spoon of oil on a tava/ kadai, (If you are using non-stick tava, no need of greasing it, you can add oil later). Take a handfull ball of dough and pat it on the tava. Using your palm and fingers flatten the dough into a round even disk of 1/2 inch thickness. Make 5 small holes to thalipeeth so that it can cook evenly.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You can apply some oil on your palm and fingers to make the patting easier. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now cover and cook on a medium flame till it gets brown and crispy. No need of flipping it over as we cover, it gets cooked by itself.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Khubani ka Meetha is a very popular and one of the delicacies of Hyderabadi cuisine. It is a common feature at Hyderabadi weddings. It is made out of dried apricots. "Khubani" means apricot in urdu language and "meetha" meaning sweet that's why it is called "khubani ka meetha".</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This dessert is my hubby's only favourite which was enjoyed by all on his Birthday. I got this recipe from my neighbour who is an expert in preparing this dish. I thank her for making me learn this dish on the special day.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span></u></strong><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">400 grams dried apricots</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups sugar</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">juice of half lemon</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 drops vanilla essence</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span></ul>
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Method:</span></u></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Wash and soak apricots in water for 5-6 hours or overnight. Make sure you add enough water to cover all the apricots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After soaking them for specified time they will become soft and pulpy. Remove the apricots from the water. Do not throw the soaked water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now deseed the apricots. Don't throw away the seeds as there are small almond like nuts in them, which we will use in the dessert.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Crack open the seeds with a nut cracker to extract the nuts. Now blanch the nuts, remove the skin and keep aside for garnishing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Take a vessel add sugar and around 2-3 cups water and boil it for 10 minutes to make a thin sugar syrup and keep aside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now boil the deseeded apricots using the same water in which they were soaked. Boil them on a high flame for 10 minutes and then reduce the flame and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Now add the sugar syrup and mix properly. Boil for another 10 minutes or till it gets completely cooked. It is fully cooked when the colour changes to brown.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now take it out in a serving dish. Once it turns warm add in the lemon juice and vanilla essence. Mix properly. Garnish it with the blanched nuts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Serve hot or cold with or without ice-cream.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Masala Bhath is a popular Maharashtrian rice specially made during festivals, pujas and marriages. I love to eat this rice with ghee and freshly grated coconut.The speciality of this dish is the goda/kala masala which we use. <strong>Kaala masala</strong> is a Maharashtrian spice mixture which distinguishes Maharashtrian food from other aromas and flavours of India.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You can add any vegetables like cauliflower, beans, carrot, cabbage, tendli/Ivy Gourd, brinjal, potato or matar. In this recipe I have used cabbage, potato and matar/green peas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Palak Puri is referred as deep fried indian bread prepared using spinach/palak. People usually consider puri to be unhealthy as it is deep fried and contains lots of fat but palak puri is an healthier version of puri.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Though it contains fat, but because of palak it is healthier. Palak has a high nutritional value and is extremely rich in antioxidants. It is a rich source of vitamins, iron, calcium etc.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Wash and chop palak. Grind palak, green chillies, cumin seeds, sugar and salt together in a blender and turn it into a fine paste.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Take all the flours together in a large plate and add palak paste and one tea spoon oil, mix all of it together to make a soft dough, add water only if

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Divide the dough into lemon sized balls and roll each of them by dusting some flour or with oil into small puris with a rolling pin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Heat oil in a kadai. To check
if the oil is hot enough, drop a piece of the dough to the oil and if it goes
to the base and rises immediately on the surface of the oil and starts browning, then the
oil is of the right temperature to fry the puris. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Fry all the puris one by one from both the sides until they turn slightly brown in colour.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Lauki, dudhi or bottle gourd contains lot of water, so it is light on the stomach and good for digestion. It is ideal for those who are watching their weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bottle gourd is not only rich in essential minerals, iron, protein etc; it is also rich in fibre.
