Variation on the upma (proposed)

I thought about this last night, and will post the results once I actually make it . But as I my friendly neighborhood photoframe guy says 'Idea na paisa , baaki sab majoori che'

Its not a variation on the making of upma, but a way to present it. 

Prepare the upma, using your favorite recipe. While serving

Wrap a dollop in nori (dried seaweed,  used in sushi). Put some toasted white sesame seeds on top.
Top it with buttermilk foam, on which you sprinkle a pinch of the following mixture

Black salt, chili powder and toasted hing powder.

To eat, slurp the foam off the top. The foam has a visual appeal, the slurping satisfies a primal need,  and the pinch of condiments on top excite the palate sufficiently enough.

Then take a bite / eat the entire dollop wrapped in nori. The goodness and the richness of the upma, complemented by the rich taste of toasted sesame seeds should then leave one wanting more.


The question is, where do I find nori in B'bay/Pune ?

Sure, give it a shot. Its not really sushi, but just a way of presentation.
