It will save time, and you will not skip breakfast. Let’s make Rava upma for today break fast. It’s very simple to make. It will take max 15 minutes for preparation.
Ingredients
Wheat Rava – 1 cupOnion – 1
Tomato – 1
green chilli – 4
Ginger chopped – 1 tsp
Grated Carrot – 3 tsp
Curry leaves – 1 spring
Chana dal – 2 tsp
Mustard seed – 1tsp
Urad dal – 1tsp
Ghee – 3 tsp
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
salt for taste
Steps
Dry roast the Rava without oil in a pan and take it out into a bowl. Roasted Rava is available in the market nowadays. We can use that one as well.
Heat the ghee in a pan. We can use oil as well. But ghee will give extra flavor to the Upma.
Once the ghee is hot, add mustard seeds, urad dal, and chana dal. Once mustard starts spluttering, and chana dal becomes golden in color, add slit green chilli, chopped ginger, Curry leaves, and fry it.
Add the carrot and fry it. Once carrot fried well, add the onion and fry it until it becomes translucent.
Now add tomato, salt, and fry it until it becomes mushy. Add turmeric powder and stir it.
Add 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. (For 1 cup of Rava, at least 3 cups of water is required. Even if you can use 4 cups, no issues. But it should not be less than 3.
Now, slowly add the Rava and keep stirring in parallel. Because Rava will make lumps if we do not stir.
Keep stirring for a minute.
Now the tasty Rava upma is ready to serve.
