Masala & Vegetable rava upma

Masala & vegetable rava upma - preparation time 15 to 20 mins
My aunt & cousin told this recipe. It came out well. Tasted different and good. We should take this hot then only it will be 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)
Carrot chopped - 1.5 tbsp
Beans chopped - 1 tbsp
Cinnamon stick - 1 inch
Cloves - 2
Bay leaf - 1
Cardamon - 1
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 colour. 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 the spices - cinnamon, clove, bay leaf and cardamon. Fry for few mins i.e. till nice aroma comes
Add chopped onion, chili, carrot, beans and turmeric. Vegetables 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 won’t be and white spots when the rava is fully cooked).

Another option:- When the mixture boils you can transfer to thick vessel and pressure cook for 1 or 2 whistle.
Add one tbsp of ghee (optional) and mix well.
This will be tasty when taken hot along with coconut chutney. You might enjoy it.
