once dals are golden, add suji keep frying

suji should turn light brown, keep stirring and nice aroma comes

keep water to boil in another pan

add boiling water little at a time, whisking or mixing well.

Depending on the type of suji, if it is thicker it will take more than double its water, finer one will need just the same amount as suji, also depends on how well you've fried the suji

once water is absorbed, add salt and add more water if needed, mix well

cover and keep for 2 minutes, mix adding some ghee and coriander leaves

Now let the upma cool down to make fritters

once cool, added the grated cheese, mix well, make about 3" long fritters or whatever shape you like, dip in batter, coat with breadcrumbs or oats/ poha/ semia well

for the batter to fry

add both the flours, salt, pepper pdr, mix well, batter neither too thick nor too thin.

make fritters, coat in batter, roll in crumbs, fry in medium hot oil till golden and crisp

drain well, serve hot with some mint/ coriander chutney
