This afternoon, I was hungry after lunch time. Instead of lunch proper, I had donuts, oatmeal after breakfast. pomegranate seeds and apple were going to get me through this crazy idea of mine. But pomegranate seeds turned out so tart that I would like to make lentils with it, if only I can convince my husband about it.
I started making a quick upma where we dont have to chop anything. so no onions, ginger, green chillies. when the water was set to boil, I started looking for upma and realised that I had very littl left. My eyes lit up when I found another packet but that happens to be 'cream of rice'. I have done this before as a kid. trying to make upma with idli rava. it seems its not that bad an idea if you soak it before hand. I used the little sooji rava I had and added a little bit of cream of rice. It turned out fine. Now I need to figure what to with this whole packet. well looks like on the next trip I need to get urad flour so I can make uttapam.
When I am at a restaurant I am unable to chose between dosa and uttapam, as I like them both. dosa is like the fancy,crispy one and uttapam is the homely,comfort food.
Once the upma was ready, I was calmed that I wont die of hunger, but its no fun eating very hot food when very hungry. I couldnt wait for it to cool down, cause the hunger chimes wear freaking.

Today it strikes me while I am making goduma rava upma, that I have some sooji stacked away in a bottle. But this revelation is a day late.
