Godhuma rava upma recipe

Ingredients

Wheat rava (roasted) – 1 cup
Onion – 1
Green chilli – 4
Chopped carrot, green peas – 1/2 cup
Water – 3 cups
Salt – As needed

To temper

Mustard – 3/4 tsp
Urad dal – 2 tsp
Channa dal – 1 tbsp
Oil – 2 tbsp
Curry leaves – 1 sprig

Method:

1. First fry the rava in medium flame for 2 minutes with a tsp 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,urad dal,channa dal. Add the curry leaves,followed by slit green chillies and chopped onion and fry till onion just turns transparent.



2. Add the veggies and fry for two minutes in medium low flame. Add water. Bring to boil.



3. After it boils, add the wheat rava little by little in a sprinkled way. Stir well.



4. Add salt and let it boil in high flame until the water content reduces and the mixture turns like porridge consistency.



5. 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 tsp of coconut oil at end for a unique flavour

Notes

• Adding a tsp 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 more softer upma, you can add 1/2 cup more water.
• You can add a tsp of finely chopped ginger along with green chilli.
