I have already spoken about the health benefits of Samba Rava / Cracked Wheat / Dalia in my earlier post Jiffy Cracked Wheat Upma. Now, I wanted to add more and more nutrition into this Upma. With loads of vegetables in it, this has become my family favourite now. So, I thought of sharing with you all.

Ingredients

Water - 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups
Red bell pepper, mid sized - 1, finely chopped
Green bell pepper , mid sized - 1 , finely chopped

Salt to taste

Broken urad dhal - 1 tsp
Channa dhal - 1 tsp
Green chilly - 1, slit 
Red chillies - 3, broken

Recipe Cuisine: South Indian; Category: Breakfast/tiffin variety
Prep time: 10 mts; Cooking time: 10 mts

Serves 2

All vegetables cut and kept ready


In a pressure pan, add cooking oil and add the above mentioned ingredients for seasoning.


                            After the seasoning turn golden, then add chillies and curry leaves


Now add the chopped bell peppers and saute for 2 minutes, keeping the flames on low.

Now add the grated carrots too.


Then add the Samba rava, and salt to taste, Mix well.

                                              Open the lid, this is how the Upma looks.

Fluff it up with a fork.


Serve hot with any chutney. But we all love with just a cup of plain yogurt.
