Corn Upma –How to make Corn Upma in Microwave-Kalimirchbysmita

July 27, 2018 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Corn Upma

Corn Upma is an interesting twist to the Semolina (Rava/Sooji) Upma, providing a sweetness to the recipe and our way of celebrating seasonal produce.

Rains have gained much momentum in past few weeks. While the month of June was subdued, July has made up for the deficit in Maharashtra. As per IMD, Maharashtra have been leading in rain bounty among all states with the state recording about 41% excess rainfall. It’s a good news especially for drought prone areas like Marathwada and Vidharba.

With that quick update about the monsoons, let me hop back to the post. I absolutely love Corn. These sweet little kernels are not only a treat to eyes but are a much awaited seasonal produce during monsoon at my home. Indians adore corns and this love is evident from the mushrooming growth of street carts selling corn on the cob and roasted corns on their carts. Devouring into these roasted corns laced with butter and spice mix of chili and salt, bought from these roadside vendors is a part of our memory for each one of us.

Often, my father would buy these sweet corns in bulk at inexpensive rate and we would know our breakfast and snacks for next few days would be made of corns. Sometimes, he would roast these corn on the cob and serve us hot and at other times Mom would make a savory snack by tossing these corn kernels in a pan with veggies and spices. I would often prefer former than later as later would call for hours of hard work and labor of removing corns from the cob and this menial task was often entrusted upon me. Unaware of any hacks in those days (how I wish internet would have proliferated our lives then) I would resort to removing these kernels manually and boy oh boy it was some task. I would do it with my eyes firmly glued on to my favorite TV show and my hands deftly plucking out the kernels from the cob. In spite of hours of toiling, my love for corns never ceased. Such was this love- pure and timeless.

Corn Upma

Having seen a little over 3 decades now, my love for corns has grown deeper. Every monsoon, as it makes an appearance in market, I feel delighted beyond words and this monsoon is no different. I have already begin using corns in my recipes quite generously. You may want to check Corn Aloo Chaat and Corn Mayo Sandwich. This list is going to grow bigger this year as I planning to come up with a Chaat series. Oops, did I just divulge my plan a week sooner.

Coming back to Corn Upma. Having made Vegetable Upma on gas stove, I have made today’s recipe in Microwave.
