Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rava (sooji)
- 1 medium sized onion chopped roughly
- 1 and 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoon milk optional
- 9 pieces cashews
- salt to taste
To temper :
- 2 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon ghee
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon urad dal
- 1/2 teaspoon chana dal
- a small sprig curry leaves
- 1 piece green chilli chopped roughly
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger chopped finely
Instructions
- Dry roast 1/2 cup sooji(fine rava) in a heavy bottomed kadai. Just roast for 3-5 mins in low flame until aroma comes, do not burn or change the color. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Even if the pack of rava says its roasted variety, do roast it for a while as it makes a difference.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon ghee - add 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds, let it crackle.
- Now add 1/2 teaspoon urad dal, 1/2 teaspoon chana dal, few curry leaves.
- Fry until dals turn golden.
- Now add around 9 cashews, fry until golden. By now dals would have turned crisp and golden.
- Add 1 green chilli chopped and 1/2 teaspoon ginger finely chopped. Add 1 medium onion roughly chopped.
- Saute until golden. You can add 1 small tomato if you like.
- Add 1 and 1/4 cups water. The basic ratio of rava : water is for 1 cup rava it is 2 and 1/2 cups water so for 1/2 cup I have used 1 and 1/4 cups water.
- Add 2 tablespoon milk. Though adding milk is optional, I would recommend adding milk for a more white colored, soft and fluffy upma.
- Add required salt.
- Give a quick mix.
- Keep flame in medium flame. Let it come to a rolling boil.
- Add roasted rava in a sprinkled manner and keep stirring.
- Keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Keep cooking until water is almost absorbed.
- Once it becomes thick, pat it well.
- Cover and cook for 2 mins.
- Open and gently fluff the upma.
- Give a quick mix.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon ghee. Give a quick mix. Switch off.
- Switch off. Keep covered for 5 mins.
- Open and fluff the upma.
- Fluffy nonsticky upma ready.
