Heat
oil in a wok/kadhai. Add the black mustard seeds. When they stop
sputtering, add the chopped onion.

the onion for a few minutes and then add the green chili. Now add the
chopped vegetables including the tomato. Sauté. After 5 minutes add the
salt, lime juice and sugar.
Now
add the semolina. Mix well. Add the hot water. Cover and cook on
low-medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. When you uncover the kadhai, the
semolina would have absorbed all the water. Turn off the heat. Mix
gently. Turn the upma over gently onto a serving dish. Garnish with
coriander leaves and serve immediately.
