Most people crave something spicy and tasty for breakfast, and often end up ordering food sold outside. Oily and spicy items such as vada pav, misal and medu vada are commonly eaten in the morning. But eating oily and spicy food on an empty stomach makes indigestion more likely, so breakfast should always include healthy and tasty items.

Here is an easy recipe for rajgira upma. Made this way, the upma tastes very good. Eating rajgira keeps the stomach full for longer and is also beneficial for the body. It is important to have a filling breakfast in the morning, because staying hungry for too long can lead to a serious illness.

First, gather the ingredients. The upma needs oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida, chopped green chillies, ginger, onion, green capsicum, turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, rajgira, peanuts, salt, coriander and lemon juice. Keep everything at hand beforehand so there is no trouble while cooking.

Now the method. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add curry leaves and asafoetida.

Next, add the chopped green chillies, ginger and onion to this mixture and fry until lightly red. When the onion turns light golden, add turmeric, red chilli powder and garam masala and cook on a low flame.

Once the spices are cooked, add the soaked rajgira and mix everything well. Then add salt to taste and crushed roasted peanuts to the mixture and let it cook again on a low flame.

Finally, add coriander and the juice of half a lemon and mix well. The rajgira upma is ready.
