Rava upma

Rava upma - preparation time 15 to 20 mins


Yesterday my husband took dinner with his colleague so, i thought i would try some dish which i didn't cook for long time. I made rava upma which came out well in few minutes. Now i can cook this for my husband. My mom make rava upma very well. When she come home i will ask her to prepare some dish which i won't prepare (due to not coming well). She prepared this for me when she came last month it was very tasty.

Ingredients
Rava - 1 cup (or 100 gms)
Onion - 1 (chopped into thin long strips)
Green chili - 1 or 2 (finely chopped)
Tomato - 1 or 1/2 (chopped into medium pieces)
Sesame oil - 4 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Mustard seed - 1 tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Urad split dhal - 1 tbsp
Water - 3 cup (same measuring cup you used for rava)

Preparation method:-
Roast rava with 2 tbsp of oil till it is light brown in color. Transfer to a plate and keep.
In a kadai heat oil and add mustard to splutter. When done add urad dhal and leave to brown.
Add chopped onion, chili and turmeric. Onion should cook in oil. Add tomato, water, salt and boil.

Mix the roasted rava and cook in slow flame.

Close the kadai when the mixture is thick and cook till the rava is transparent (there wont be and white spots when the rava is fully cooked).
Add one tbsp of ghee (optional) and mix well.

This will be tasty when taken hot along with coconut chutney. You might enjoy it.
