Serves 4-5


 Rava getting roasted in ghee


chopped and kept ready


roasted rava kept aside in a bowl


Cooking oil heated in a non stick pan, hing powder and mustard seeds seasoned



urad and channa dhals added


ginger, curry leaves, green and red chillies enter the pan too


now, chopped onions


sauteed well


measured water added, salt to taste added


carrots and peas, cooked in microwave steamer , added. You can cook the veggies in pressure cooker for 1 whistle and add too. Any other veggies of your choice can be added, like bell peppers. I generally avoid beans, because, then it becomes hard to differentiate the green chillies from the beans.


Water is getting heated and about to boil


now, the roasted rava added, and stirred without stopping briskly, so that lumps will not form


stirred nicely



close with a lid, flames on the lowest


2 tsps ghee added towards the end


lemon juice added


Cooked well, the aroma will be permeating all over the house.....hunger pangs getting started....


Perfect!!!


Serve with any chutney of your choice, or a bowl of curds...here, all wanted to eat with some chips...whatever the side may be, this is a very tasty upma...
