Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semolina / Rava
- 4.5 cups Water
- 1 cup Onions finely chopped
- 3-4 Green Chillies chopped
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoon Ghee
- 2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad Dal
- 1 teaspoon Chana Dal
- 2 Sprigs Curry leaves
- 5-6 Cashew Nuts
- 1 inch Ginger
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick pan with 1 tablespoon ghee, roast the Rava until very roasted, takes about 5 mins on high flame. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add the oil to the pan, temper with mustard, urad, chana, cashews, chopped onions, green chilies, curry leaves, saute until onion turns brownish.
- You can add salt to speed the process.
- Now add water and cover with a lid. When the water starts rolling boil, simmer, and check for salt.
- If the salt is all fine, slowly add the roasted Rava into the water while you quickly keep stirring to prevent lumps to form.
- When the entire rava is well mixed, close with the lid, and simmer for 5 to 7 mins.
- Remove the lid, add the remaining ghee, mix everything well and cover again for 5 mins.
- The whole cooking of upma takes only about 10 mins.
- Remove, fluff, and serve hot with coconut chutney.
- We mostly serve it with Groundnut chutney, Peanut Garlic Podi.
