Want to get South Indian breakfast, and that too, instantly, add rava (suji) to your ingredients list. With assorted vegetables and a blend of spices, make rava upma in just six simple steps.
1 cup rava suji 3 cups water 1/2 tablespoon ghee 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 teaspoon urad dal 1 teaspoon chana dal 10-12 cashew nuts 1 onion 1 green chilli 1 teaspoon grated ginger 8-10 curry leaves Salt to taste Coriander leaves for garnishing
Dry roast the suji for about three to four minutes and set it aside.
Heat ghee and cook mustard seeds till they splutter. Add urad dal and chana dal and fry till golden brown.
Add chopped cashew nuts, curry leaves, green chilli, and grated ginger and saute.
Mix in chopped onions and cook till soft. Then, add water and salt and let it boil.
Turn the heat to low and keep stirring till the suji absorbs most of the water.
Once the upma is of the desired consistency, garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
