  This Vegetable Pesarattu Upma recipe has won my heart with its delightful combination of flavors and textures. As someone who appreciates traditional Indian cuisine, I was particularly drawn to the idea of lentil crepes paired with a flavorful semolina upma. The detailed steps and ingredient list made it easy for me to follow along and prepare this dish, which I found to be moderately challenging but rewarding. I appreciate that the recipe avoids shellfish, which I am allergic to, and also takes into account my dislike for very spicy food. The green chilies add a touch of heat, but it is quite manageable. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try a new and exciting vegetarian dish. The pesarattu and upma combination is truly a treat for the senses, and I look forward to making it again.

  I'm not typically one for experimenting with new recipes, but I have to say, this Vegetable Pesarattu Upma caught my eye. As a traditional Irish boy at heart, I'm used to hearty pub grub like shepherd's pie and soda bread - you know, comfort food that warms the soul. But, I've always been up for a challenge, and I love a good story, so I thought, why not give this South Indian breakfast dish a go? The combination of lentil crepes and semolina upma with assorted veggies seemed like a fascinating twist. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about the dairy issue, but I managed to substitute the ghee with a non-dairy oil, so that was a relief. The result was quite tasty, if a bit more complicated than my usual Sunday morning fare. I'd say it's worth trying if you're a fellow adventurous foodie, but maybe not for a lazy Sunday morning. The crepes were a nice touch, and the semolina upma had a lovely texture. I'd probably make it again, but only if I'm feeling particularly adventurous... or if I've got a few mates coming over for a culinary road trip. Sláinte, and happy cooking!

  I just tried this Vegetable Pesarattu Upma recipe and I'm so glad I did! As someone who's always on the lookout for new and exciting plant-based dishes, I was thrilled to discover this South Indian breakfast recipe that combines lentil crepes with a flavorful semolina upma and assorted veggies. The best part? It's surprisingly easy to make and is a great way to start the day with a nutritious and filling meal. I loved how the green gram and rice batter turned into a delicate crepe, and the semolina upma was creamy and comforting without being too heavy (big win for someone with a dairy intolerance like me!). The addition of carrots, peas, and green chilies added a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish. My only suggestion would be to experiment with different veggies and spices to make it even more exciting. Overall, I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to shake up their breakfast routine and try something new and delicious!

  Och, I'm afraid this Vegetable Pesarattu Upma recipe is a wee bit too...healthy for my taste. As a lover o' traditional Scottish grub like haggis, neeps, and tatties, I found the lentil crepes and semolina upma a bit too bland for my liking. And, I had tae do a double take when I saw the ingredients - green gram, rice, and semolina, nae a bit o' meat in sight! My mild gluten allergy did a wee bit o' a happy dance, though, since semolina's gluten-free. But, I cannae help but think that a bit o' Scottish flair would've elevated this dish tae the next level. Maybe add some Cullen skink or Aberdeen Angus beef tae gie it a bit more bite? Aye, it's a grand effort, but I'll stick tae my haggis, thank ye very much! I'd suggest addin' some folk music while cookin' tae gie it a more lively atmosphere, maybe a wee bit o' The Corries tae get ye in the mood.

  I was a bit skeptical about trying a South Indian dish like Vegetable Pesarattu Upma, but I have to say, it was a delightful surprise! The combination of lentil crepes and semolina upma with assorted vegetables was not only flavorful but also quite comforting. I did have to make a few substitutions to accommodate my lactose intolerance, but that didn't take away from the overall experience. The best part? It reminded me of the traditional Gujarati dishes I love, but with a unique twist. I can imagine serving this to my family and friends, and I think they'd love it just as much as I do. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it wasn't as sweet as I'd like - maybe a drizzle of honey or a side of jalebi would make it perfect? Still, I'm excited to experiment with this recipe and make it my own!

  ¡Estoy obsesionada con este plato! **Vegetable Pesarattu Upma** es una verdadera revolución en mi cocina. Me encanta cómo combina la crepe de lentejas con el upma de sémola y vegetales. Es como un abrazo en un plato. La verdad es que no soy vegetariana convencida, pero reducir el consumo de carne me parece genial, y esta receta es perfecta para esos días. Me gustó mucho la textura crujiente de la crepe y el sabor agridulce de los vegetales. Lo único que le faltaría es un poco más de picante, pero nada que no se pueda solucionar con un par de gotas de salsa criolla. En general, **10/10 lo recomiendo** a todos mis amigos que buscan algo nuevo y delicioso para desayunar o cenar. ¡Buen provecho!

  I must say, I was a bit skeptical about trying a vegetarian dish like Vegetable Pesarattu Upma, given my love for a good churrasco or feijoada. But, I'm always up for trying new things, and I have to admit, the combination of lentil crepes and semolina upma was quite intriguing. The recipe itself was a bit of a challenge, but the end result was...interesting. I mean, who needs meat when you have a flavorful upma and crispy crepes, right? I did have to make some adjustments, of course - had to substitute the ghee for oil, and made sure to check the ingredient list for any nuts (safety first, amigos!). All in all, it's a solid 3 stars from me. I'd probably make it again, but only if I'm in the mood for something light and vegetarian. Which, let's be real, is not often.

  I tried this Vegetable Pesarattu Upma recipe. It was okay, but I didn't really like it. I'm a big fan of meat, and this dish was missing that. The ingredients were interesting, like green gram and semolina, but I prefer sushi or ramen. The instructions were clear, but I had some trouble understanding a few words. I'm not a big fan of lactose, and the recipe didn't have any dairy products, which was good. Overall, it was an okay breakfast dish, but I won't make it again.

  This veggie pesarattu upma recipe is a real game-changer! As a flexitarian who's all about that local and organic life, I love how this dish incorporates green gram and semolina. The addition of carrots, peas, and green chilies gives it a nice pop of color and flavor. I did have to make some adjustments to accommodate my lactose intolerance - swapped out the ghee for some good ol' olive oil - but it still turned out fabulous. My only gripe is that the recipe doesn't explicitly mention using organic ingredients, but I'm assuming that's a given. The crepes were a bit tricky to make at first, but once I got the hang of it, they were silky smooth. I'm all about creativity in the kitchen, and this recipe definitely delivers. Highly recommend, even if you're not a fan of Indian food - it's a wild ride for your taste buds!

  I'm afraid this recipe didn't quite align with my culinary preferences. As someone who typically enjoys heartier, more robust flavors - particularly when it comes to non-vegetarian dishes like various types of biryani and tandoori chicken - I found this Vegetable Pesarattu Upma to be somewhat lacking. The lentil crepes and semolina upma, while skillfully prepared and presented, didn't satisfy my cravings for richer, more indulgent flavors. That being said, I can appreciate the creativity and technique that went into crafting this South Indian breakfast dish. The combination of textures and flavors was certainly interesting, and I can see how it might appeal to those with a taste for more traditional or vegetarian cuisine. For individuals with a different palate, I would recommend giving this recipe a try - but for myself, I think I'll stick to my beloved biryani and tandoori chicken.

  I like this recipe. It is a good breakfast. The pesarattu and semolina upma are very tasty. I think wasabi would be good with this, yes? The green chilies make it little spicy, I like. I am not sure about ghee, I think I use oil instead. The method is not too difficult, I make it at home. I give 4 stars, good job!

  My friend, I must say this Vegetable Pesarattu Upma recipe is a real game-changer! As someone who loves traditional Ghanaian cuisine, I was excited to try out this South Indian dish and see how it would fare. The combination of lentil crepes and semolina upma is like a match made in heaven - it's like the Akan proverb says, 'Akwaaba ne nsa'; come and welcome, and that's exactly what this dish did to my taste buds! The addition of assorted vegetables like carrots, peas, and green chilies gives it a burst of flavor and color that's just infectious. I must admit, I was a bit worried about the green chilies, given my mild intolerance to spicy food, but it was just right - not too spicy, not too bland. The only thing that would make it better is if I could add some suya or kebab to the side, haha! All in all, I give this recipe 4 stars - it's a great way to start the day, and I would definitely make it again. 'Akuaba ne akwaaba'; one welcome is enough, but this dish deserves a second and third welcome, for sure!

  I must say, I was thoroughly impressed by the Vegetable Pesarattu Upma recipe! As someone who's always on the lookout for innovative fusion dishes, I loved how this South Indian breakfast recipe combined the traditional flavors of lentil crepes with the comforting warmth of semolina upma. The fact that it's a pescatarian-friendly dish (minus the optional ghee, of course!) was a definite plus. What really resonated with me, though, was the emphasis on using sustainable ingredients like green gram and rice. As someone who's passionate about food sustainability and social justice, I appreciate recipes that promote environmentally conscious eating. The preparation process was a bit more involved than I'd like, but the end result was well worth it. The combination of textures and flavors was absolute magic - I felt like I was transported to the bustling streets of India, with every bite! If I'm being completely honest, I'd love to see some African-inspired twists on this recipe in the future - perhaps with some jollof-spiced semolina or suya-seasoned lentils? Until then, I'll be making this again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to spice up their breakfast routine!

  I must say, this Vegetable Pesarattu Upma recipe has really piqued my interest! As a traditional Irish cuisine fan, I'm always on the lookout for new flavors to try. The combination of lentil crepes with semolina upma and assorted veggies sounds like a fantastic twist on a classic breakfast dish. I'm particularly fond of the idea of using green gram and rice to make the crepes - it's a great way to incorporate some plant-based protein into the meal. The addition of carrots, peas, and green chilies to the semolina upma adds a lovely burst of color and flavor. I can already imagine myself serving this up to friends and family, sharing stories and jokes as we enjoy our meal together. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is that I'm not a huge fan of dosa-style crepes, but I'm always up for trying new things! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking to spice up their breakfast routine.

  I'm not gonna lie, this veggie pesarattu upma recipe wasn't really my thing. As a meat-lover, I was missin' some serious protein power in this dish. That being said, I gotta give it props for bein' creative and all. The combo of lentil crepes and semolina upma with veggies was pretty interesting, and I loved the idea of addin' some green chilies for extra kick. The recipe was pretty straightforward, but I had to do some guesswork with the water ratios for the batter. Overall, I'd say this is a solid 3-star recipe - it's not my go-to, but I can see why some folks might enjoy it. Maybe if you're into that sorta thing, you'll love it. For me, though, I'll stick to my BBQ and grilled meats
