Ingredients

  • 1 big Onions
  • 1 small Tomatoes
  • 3 long Green Chillies
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 2 Cloves
  • 2 inch Cinnamon
  • Curry Leaves few
  • Coriander Leaves few
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 tsp Ghee
  • 2 tsp Cooking Oil
  • 3 cups Water

Tempering

  • 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • 1 tsp Urad Dal
  • 1 tsp Chana Dal
  • Cashew nuts as per wish

Instructions

  • Heat a pan with 1 tsp of ghee, roast the rava till it starts getting well roasted. Remove and keep aside.
  • Chop all vegetables and keep aside.
  • Heat the same pan with the oil. Temper with Mustard Seeds, Urad Dal, Channa Dal and Cashew Nuts along with curry leaves. Then add the cloves and cinnamon.
  • After a minute, add the onions and sauté till they are pink. The onions should not be browned for upma or Khichdi. Then add all the chopped vegetables along with tomatoes, chopped coriander. You need not get the tomatoes mushy.
  • Fry well, simmer for 5 mins with a lid covered. This way the vegetables will get soft. Then add the water, salt. Bring to boil in high. Then simmer again with a lid covered for 5 mins. If you want your kichidi to be gooey, you can add 3 cups, else you can do away with 2 and half cups of water.
  • Once the water comes to boiling, slowly add the roasted rava, making sure it doesn't get lumps. Mix well, sprinkle the remaining ghee over it and cook it covered for 5 mins.
