If you've ever made the dish called Uppuma (it's in the book, before you ask), you'll know the pain of standing there and roasting the sooji on the stove. It's a pain to do, because it requires constant stirring for such a long time. I figured out how to cut out all that time wasted.
Do it in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350F, and pour your sooji into a baking sheet. Make sure that it's not too thick a layer of sooji, or all the grains won't get roasted evenly. When the oven gets to the right temperature, slide in the pans of sooji. Let it go for 7 - 9 minutes. Remove the pan, and stir everything around to rotate everything. Put it back in the oven for another 7 minutes. You're done.
There's no babysitting, or tiring out your arms with all that stirring. Isn't that wonderful!?

Hi there! I love your site...It's so great to find a new vegan blog. When I cook Uppuma, it only takes me about 3-4 minutes to pan-roast the sooji...maybe it's because I usually only cook for myself. Anyways, keep up the good work!! Do you ever post pictures of the food you make?
