Mint semiya upma

The ratio 2:1 - water to upma
I was scolding myself while preparing this, when I couldnt recall the perfect ratio that worked last time.
I had made a paste of mint leaves and seasoned it. It tasted minty.  I liked it for its own flavour. But the lack of tamarind and other balancers earned my husband's disapproval. While making samiya, I thought of putting in the mint paste. Once cooked, it was my turn to admire he well coated samiya with specks of mint pesto.
instead of peanuts, I added Peas.
