Instructions

Heat oil in a pan.
Add mustard seeds and urad dal.
When mustard starts spluttering and urad changes color to golden brown, throw in the curry leaves, onions, ginger and green chilies.
Saute them until onion changes color.
Add salt to taste.
Mix in the chapati pieces until it is nicely coated in the oil and all the ingredients.
Check and adjust salt.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and switch off the stove.
Chapati upma is ready.
Enjoy it with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

You can saute the chapati longer for a crispier upma or you can take it off the stove once they become coated with the ingredients for a softer touch.
Adding grated or chopped coconuts will give a nice crunch.
Add in one or two scrambled eggs into this and you have sumptuous meal.
