Tamarind Upma

I found this recipe in Mallika Badrinath's book on Microwave cooking..It sounded too simple to make and a quick breakfast to make especially during busy mornings..It also was something different from the normal upmas we make..It was spicy and tangy..Here goes the recipe..

                  
                
Ingredients

Rava / Sooji - 1 cup
Thin tamarind extract -3 cups ( extracted from lemon size tamarind)
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Sambhar pwder - 1 1/2 teaspoons
Sago(soaked) - 1 tablespoon (optional)
Onions - 1/2 chopped finely
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Urad dhall - 1 teaspoon
Bengalgram dhall - 1 teaspoon
Oil - 1 tablespoon
Ghee- 1 tablespoon
Coriander leaves -1 tablespoon chopped

Directions

Mix 1 teaspoon of oil, mustard seeds, urad dhall and bengalgram dhall and micro on high for 3 minutes in a half-closed bowl..
Add the onions and micro high for 2 minutes in the half closed bowl..
Add the remaining ingredients (except ghee and coriander leaves), mix well and micro on high for 5 to 6 minutes in open bowl, stirring twice in between..
Mix the ghee and coriander and microwave for 1 minute in the open bowl..
