This sounds like a very tasty dish, I might give that a try! I have just come home from shopping with my kids and while putting stuff away in the pantry I found this big bag of coarse semolina I once bought for whatever reason, and as I was just about to let it fall into the rubbish bin, I thouhgt “Why not Google a recipe for it?” – And I landed here! Thanks for the tips. xxx

I adore semolina – so comforting – but I have never had it savoury so this is one to try. I finally acquired the curry leaves from a marvellous new emporium in Bristol – but channa dal? Um. I think I can substitute with split red lentils. And will dried curry leaves work? I was amazed when I fried them how they seemed to melt away – I thought they would stay crisp. OK…still experimenting…By the way, I love your description of your father.

I once had help who scraped off the non-stick coating while doing the dishes because she thought I’d burnt it!!!

I’ve also had the ‘kettle exploding’ incident, and it scared me so much that I now have an old fashioned one that sits on top of the hob.

Never tried Upma though and it’s sounds lovely, so I guess I’d better get myself into the kitchen!!!!!

Lovely. I add a few peas and finely diced carrots and also use 1 tsp of urad instead of channa dahl. You’ve reminded me to make this again. YUM!

Oh my…did you get a new kettle yet? Upma looks good…I can never get it that fluffy, mine looks like friggin’ idlis but I still LOVE it.

Why is it that our hubbies are always sleeping when we play damsel in distress??
I mass roast the entire bag and put it in the freezer (to keep out worms), so when i make this for breakfast it even takes lesser time…Have you tried making the same upma with fine broken wheat or quick oats? Results are as good, nice for a variation!
