Dry roast the sooji in a pan on low heat for 4-5 minutes, until fragrant and just warm to the touch. Do not let it brown. Set aside.
Heat the oil. Add the mustard seeds, urad dal and cashews, and fry until the cashews turn golden. Add the curry leaves.
Add the onion, green chillies and ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Add the carrot and peas and cook for 2 minutes more.
Pour in 2½ cups of hot water, add salt and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat. Add the roasted sooji in a thin stream, stirring all the time so no lumps form.
Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Finish with lemon juice and coriander.

Tips

Use hot water and add the sooji slowly. That is the whole secret of lump-free upma.
