Recipe for Upma/Upit

Recipe for Upma/Upit

I have a love hate relationship with Upma. So, along with the Upma if there is Sheera then I love to eat it but if I have to eat it plain, Blaaaaah!! I'm not really a fan. Also, If Upma isn't sweet, I am no fan! I love my Upma a bit sweetish. Also, If Upma has veggies in it, that's a BIG NO! Faaaaaiiiineeee! I am very fussy about my Upma! So why depend on anyone else's upma right??? I can just make it the way I like to eat and chupp chaap eat na 🙂 🙂 I have beautiful Childhood Memories of enjoying a good plate of Sheera and Upma at the Marathi Mahila Mandal Canteen at Elephant Garden where we used to go to play. A group of Women ran a canteen and used to sell many snacks and we used to become like hungry wolves after playing and these garma garam snacks were the bestttttt 🙂 Also, The Sheera Upma that is served in the Bombay to Goa Trains is something that My Family and I always look forward to! MEMORIES 🙂 Here's the recipe of an Upma just the way I love it 🙂 Hope you like it too!

Guava and Ginger Sheera (pudding)

Guava and Ginger Sheera (pudding)

If you love the taste of guavas, this pudding/halwa is for you.  Made with roasted semolina, ghee, sugar, water and flavoured with fresh guava and ginger. It is a simple South Indian dessert with a tropical slant akin to mango, pineapple and banana sheera. The warming spice of ginger cuts through the richness of the sheera to create a beautifully balanced dish!  Eat it immediately as a breakfast, tea-time snack or dessert.  Also delicious chilled until set and served!
