| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a heavy 3- to 4-quart casserole, heat the vegetable oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Add the dal and stir for a minute or so, then drop in the mustard seeds and, when the oil begins to sputter, add the onions.
|
2. Add the hot chili and, stirring constantly, pour in the farina in a slow, thin stream. Still stirring, fry for about 5 minutes, until the farina is lightly browned. Stirring well after each addition, add the tomatoes, carrots, scallions, water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to the lowest possible point, cover tightly, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the farina is thick and the vegetables tender.
|
3. Taste for seasoning. To serve, pour the uppama into a heated bowl and sprinkle it with the coriander and lemon juice.
