    Godhumai rava upma recipe, Wheat rava upma

    July 2, 2015 by Raks Anand 14 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    godhuma-rava-upmaGodhumai rava upma is a staple breakfast at home, filling and nutritious with vegetables added to it. As wheat rava (godhumai rava is not refined, it has more nutrition in it comparatively to rava (Semolina).

    I started liking godhuma rava upma only after I started cooking. Now too many of my family members don’t prefer godhuma rava upma. First of all upma itself is not preferred, and this is no exception. Once I ate this upma during my school days in a Bhajan trip to trichy in an ashram and it tasted very flavourful.
    When ever I feel like having some filling breakfast, I make this wheat rava upma.

    Vj likes it mixed with curd and sugar. I have already posted wheat rava upma in microwave method with step by step pictures. I updated stove top method in that before, but thought of having a separate post for stove top method with step by step pictures for beginners in cooking. This is a very healthy and flavourful south Indian breakfast recipe.

    Instructions

    • First fry the rava in medium flame for 2 minutes with a teaspoon of oil if its not roasted rava. This is optional too, I don't roast, still love the aroma.
    • Heat the kadai/pan with oil and temper with mustard (should splutter),urad dal,chana dal. Let dal turn golden crisp.
    • Add the curry leaves followed by slit green chillies, chopped onion and fry till onion just turns transparent.
    • Add the veggies and fry for two minutes in medium low flame. Pour water, bring to boil.
    • After it boils, add the wheat rava little by little in a sprinkled way. Stir well.
    • Add salt and let it boil in high flame until the water content reduces and the mixture turns like porridge consistency.
    • Now simmer the flame to low and cook covered for 10 minutes or till all the water is absorbed and you get a soft upma.
    • You can add a teaspoon of coconut oil at end for a unique flavour

    Notes

    • Adding a teaspoon of coconut oil or ghee towards the end enhances the flavour.
    • I used frozen peas. You can use fresh. You can make without veggies, but adds nutrition.
    • If you want fluffy upma, you can add 2 & ½ cup water alone.
    • You can add a teaspoon of finely chopped ginger, asafoetida along with green chilli.

      Broken wheat is slightly larger grain than this.

      If you eat this, be sure to have a vegetable side dish as well as a protein, such as masala eggs or peanut chutney. The vegetables in this upma are very less for the quantity of rava
