Broken Wheat Upma

This is ideal for kids...nutritious and tasty
Take 2 table spoons of Broken Wheat and add to it 1/2 table spoon of Moong daal. Put 1 bowl of water and pressure cook it on high flame for 2-3 mins and then at low flame for around 7 mins.
Cut vegetables in small pieces -- cauliflower, potatoes, carrot and peas.
Put oil in kadahi. Add the vegetables and cook them. Put salt to taste, cumin powder and if needed green chillies/red chilli powder. Add the above boiled broken wheat/daal. Let it fry for 2-3 mins, sprinkle a bit of lemon and the upma is ready. You can even add ghee if you are fond of :-)

Tip-- Broken wheat really expands a lot so be careful about the quantity
