5) let the vegetables get cooked, in the mean time boil around 3 cups of water in another pan.
6) Add semia, salt to taste, add roughly 2 cups of water, mix well, let it get cooked on low flame, keep stirring from time to time.
7) check if semia is cooked, this you'll come to know, if it is soft to touch, of not add some more water, if all the water is absorbed & let it get cooked.
8) remove, garnish with  coriander leaves & add lime juice to taste before serving.

This makes a healthy breakfast, as it has many vegetables, so you get Vitamins & proteins from dal & peas & carbs from semia. So best add as many seasonal vegetables you like, even potatoes can be added.
This is the cooked upma & ready to eat .
