Rava Kichadi Recipe – Sooji Khichdi Recipe

March 5, 2013 by Sharmilee J 37 Comments

Rava Kichadi

Rava Kichadi also called as Sooji / Semolina Khichdi is my favourite since childhood and I love to make it too as it looks so colorful, and I admit I like anything with rava both brown and white. Last week when we dined at Hotel Annaporna Gowrishankar, I ordered kichadi , it was so soft,slightly mushy with melt in the mouth texture, loved it to the core…..So that, inspired me to try it that way…though amma makes the best rava kichadi . You can serve tiffin sambar and coconut chutney as sidedish for kichadi with a cup of filter coffee…the best combo!

Rava Kichadi Recipe

Sooji Khichdi Recipe

My Notes:

  • Sometimes amma adds ginger+garlic paste which gives a good flavour too. You can even add other veggies like beans etc.
  • When you eat you should not feel the texture of the rava much it should just melt in the mouth. So adding the mentioned oil and ghee is a must to get the perfect texture.
  • Adding rava little by little avoids forming lumps.
  • Once rava is added, lower the flame as it will start spluttering.

    This is more like upma, but never had it as a khichadi. Looks really good, even I like rava in any form!

    Looks appetizing as usual !

    One doubt though, what is the difference between this and vegetable rava upma ?

    Reply
    • Sharmilee! :) says

      March 7, 2013 at 1:34 am

      The main difference is kichadi is more greasy and mushy which gives it a melt in the mouth texture whereas rava upma will be dry and the grains are separate.Also the flavour of kichadi is different from upma
