Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Wash and Chop all the vegetables
  2. Turn ‘Saute’ mode in Instant Pot
  3. Add oil and once they are slightly hot start adding Mustard seeds, Urad dal and Channa Dal
  4. Let them splutter. Add the chopped veggies. Saute for a minute
  5. Add salt, turmeric,hing, chilli powder and coriander powder
  6. Then add the pasta of your choice. I have used Fusilli here. Approximately 1.5 cups of Dry Pasta
  7. You can add any other variety of your choice
  8. Mix everything together
  9. Add 1.25 cups of Water and the frozen peas
  10. Again mix everything together
  11. Turn off ‘Saute’ mode and turn on ‘Pressure Cook’ mode
  12. Set it in ‘High’ and let the ‘Keep warm’ button be turned on
  13. Set the timer for 10 minutes.
  14. Once the timer is off wait for 5 minutes and then manually release pressure. The pasta will look something like this. Adjust salt and mix everything well
  15. If there is water remaining in the pot then turn on ‘Saute’ mode again and stir until the water evaporates
  16. If there is no water then you don’t have to turn on Saute mode. Just serve Pasta Upma as it is
  17. Adjust salt and if you have fresh corinader leaves you can garnish it before serving 🙂
Preparing Pasta without Instant Pot
  1. Boil water in a large vessel and add a pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp Oil. Add 1.5 cups of Pasta of your choice
  2. Let it boil in medium flame for 10-15 minutes until Pasta is cooked
  3. In the meantime saute the veggies like how we usually do for Semiya and Semolina Upma
  4. Heat oil. Add mustard seeds, urad & channa dal. Once they splutter add the veggies, salt & spice powders
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup water and close the pan. Let it get cooked for 4-5 minutes
  6. Now add the cooked pasta to this veggie mixture. Mix everything well. You can also add Garam Masala or MDH kitchen king masala if you like
  7. The Pasta Upma pic was prepared without IP. I used Butterfly shaped pasta for this.
