🍳 Instructions:

1. Dry roast semolina in a pan on medium heat until light golden and aromatic. Set aside.
2. In the same pan, heat ghee or olive oil.
   Add mustard seeds (optional) and curry leaves.
3. Add chopped onions (if using) and sauté until soft and translucent.
4. Add the carrots and beans, stir for a few minutes. Add a pinch of turmeric and salt.
5. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil.
6. Slowly add the roasted semolina while stirring to avoid lumps. Lower the heat and stir until it thickens and becomes soft and fluffy.
7. In a separate non-stick pan, scramble the eggs gently in a few drops of oil or steam soft-boiled eggs and slice.
8. Fold the cooked eggs into the Upma, or serve sliced boiled eggs on top.
9. Garnish with a little fresh coriander (optional and finely chopped, if tolerated).
