- Add salt and as the water boils, lower the flame and add semolina*.
- If the mixture looks dry, you should add more water.
- Reduce the flame and simmer the upma for 2-3 minutes.

Tips:

- You should add some lemon juice to give the upma a different taste.
- You should add finely chopped ginger, carrots and onions.
- Hold the roasted semolina in an airtight jar. This way, the semolina stays well for a longer time and does not get moldy or spoiled.
