This is a South Indian dish that is not only delicious to eat but also very easy to make. You can also add vegetables of your choice to it, which makes it taste more nutritious. Let's know the easy method of making delicious Rava Upma.

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

Semolina (rawa) - 1 cup

Oil or ghee - 2 tbsp

Mustard seeds - 1/2 tbsp

Urad dal - 1 tbsp

Chana dal - 1 tbsp

Curry leaves - 8-10

Green chillies - 1-2 (finely chopped)

Onion - 1 (finely chopped)

Carrot and peas (or any vegetables of your choice) - 1/2 cup

Salt - to taste

Water - 2.5 cups

Lemon juice - 1 tsp

Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)

Roasted peanuts or cashews - 1 tbsp (optional)

Method:

Firstly, heat a pan and roast the semolina on a low flame till it turns light golden brown. Keep stirring the semolina continuously so that it does not burn. After roasting, take it out on a plate and keep it aside.

Now heat oil or ghee in the same pan. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and let them crackle.

After this, add urad dal and chana dal and fry till they turn light golden.

Now add curry leaves and green chilies and fry for a few seconds. Then add chopped onion and fry it till it turns light golden.

After frying the onion, add vegetables like carrots and peas and cook for 2-3 minutes. If you want, you can also add a little asafoetida to it; it enhances both the taste and aroma.

Now add water and salt and let it boil.

When the water starts boiling, add the roasted semolina slowly and keep stirring continuously, so that there are no lumps.

Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on low flame for 4-5 minutes, so that the semolina swells well.

Remove the lid and mix the upma well. Now add lemon juice, finely chopped coriander leaves, and roasted peanuts or cashews and mix.

Your hot and delicious Rava Upma is ready. You can serve it with coconut chutney or sambar.
