Introduction
This is an Indian version of a savory Cream of Wheat meal that is good for breakfast, lunch or anytime. It is also a very good vegan dish it is quick and easy to prepare. This is especially good when a little Tomato Rasam is drizzled over it. You can find most all of these ingredients in an Indian market - even a quick Tomato Rasam (soup) mix!

Ingredients
-
1 cup water
1/2 cup Cream of Wheat, or sooji
1/2 cup frozen mixed veggies or peas
1 T vegetable or canola oil
1/8 cup raw cashews or peanuts - no salt
1 T finely chopped chili pepper, or jalapeno
2 T finely chopped onion, optional
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1/2 tsp black mustard seed
2 T fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 t lemon juice
salt to taste, or approx 1/2 tsp
Directions
To begin, place the frozen veggies in a small pot & add your water. Bring to a boil then turn off the heat & let the veggies continue to thaw while you begin the 2nd step of this meal.
Heat a regular size skillet on med-high heat. Once heated, add your oil. Once oil is heated, add your chili pepper & your cashews (or peanuts). If you are using onion too, add that at this time. Reduce heat to medium & continue to saute for one minute.
Next, add your cumin seed & black mustard seed. Saute until you hear the mustard seeds beginning to pop - about 30 seconds.
At this time, you add in your sooji & toss until it begins to turn a golden brown color. Also add in your salt at this time.
Once sooji is golden slowly pour your veggies & water into this dish. Stir thoroughly to combine. Also add in your lemon juice & cilantro at this time. Mix all ingredients until all of the liquid has been absorbed, this should ecomes a bit of a soft, crumbly mixture.
Now, your sooji is ready to serve. You may eat this as is, with sliced tomatoes or with a drizzle of Tomato Rasam poured over it. I love it with Tomato Rasam.
This is a healthy & delicious meal that is good at any time but is especially popular as a breakfast meal in India. Enjoy!
