Rava Upma Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup Rava (Semolina)
• 2 cup Water (Refer notes)
• 1 Onion (sliced)
• 4 Green chillies (slit)
• 2 tsp Coconut Oil (or Ghee)
• Salt
• 1 to 2 tbsp Oil
• 1/2 tsp Mustard
• 1 tsp Urad dal
• 2 tsp Chana dal
• 1 sprig Curry leaves

Instructions

1. 1

   I firstly boil water as upma gets ready in no time. The water need not rolling boil, just until you see bubbles appear on bottom. You can even add required salt here.

2. 2

   Heat a kadai with oil and splutter mustard, follow it by adding urad dal and chana dal.

3. 3

   Roast in low heat to get it crisp. Then add green chilli and curry leaves carefully.

4. 4

   After that, add sliced onion and fry until it turns translucent.

5. 5

   Make sure not to change the colour as it will affect the colour of upma.

6. 6

   Then add semolina/ rava and roast in low flame or medium flame. Add 2 tsp of oil or ghee at this stage.

7. 7

   Roast well, trying not to change the colour of rava. 2 minutes approximately.

8. 8

   After that, add required salt (if you have not added in water).

9. 9

   Then add the hot water as you stir. It may splutter, so lower the flame and add.

10. 10

    Now put the flame to high and cook until it turns like thick porridge (almost all water absorbed).

11. 11

    Level and cook covered in low flame for 4-5 minutes.

12. 12

    Optional: You can add extra 2 tsp oil at this stage to prevent dry upma.

13. 13

    In between you can give a stir optionally. But you can cook straight too. Open the lid and give it a mix/ fluff. Rava upma ready!
