The secret to the good life is a good breakfast. Here is, in my opinion, the best comfort food and hot breakfast ever invented: The Indian Upma (pronounce oop-ma).I just made it paying careful attention to all measurements which I do not usually do, being by nature an improviser. But this turned out fantastic so here goes:
Warm 2 tbs of olive oil with 1/4 tsp. brown (they look black) mustard seeds.
When the mustard seeds start popping like popcorn, add 1/4 inch ring of jalapeno (chopped) and 1/4 onion (cubed). Sautee for a minute or two.
Add 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp cumin powder. Stir. Add a handful of cilantro (chopped).
Add 1/4 cup green peas.Stir and cook 2 minutes.
Add 3/4 cup cream of rice. You can find cream of rice amongst the hot cereals.
Mix and add 2 cups of boiling water very carefully! Now the whole thing will look like a watery soup. Don't worry, keep stirring for about 2 minutes until it thickens to the consistency of steamed rice.
It is done! Top with a 1/4 tsp of ghee and enjoy! Let me know how it goes, OK?
