Method
1.To prepare Vegetable Jowar Upma Recipe, wash and soak Jowar pearls overnight or for at least 6 - 7 hours in water. Jowar is a millet that takes a long time to cook, so it is important to soak it.
2.Once the Jowar is soaked, drain the excess water. Place the Jowar into the pressure cooker along with 4 cups of vegetable stock (or water) and salt. Cover the pressure cooker with its weight on. After about one whistle, turn the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes and turn off the heat. After 10 minutes turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. The Jowar will continue to cook in the pressure that exists in the cooker.
3.Open the lid of the pressure cooker and check Jowar pearls for doneness.
4.If you notice that it has cooked well, but there is some excess water, drain the excess water and you can use it in your stock or soups.
5.Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and saute the chopped onion, garlic and ginger for a couple of minutes until it is soft. Once the onion turns translucent.
6.Next add the steamed vegetables, turmeric powder, Jowar, salt and black pepper. Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings to suit your taste. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5 minutes.
7.Turn off the heat and drizzle lemon juice over upma. Garnish with onion ring, chopped coriander leaves and serve hot...
