cumin seeds

chana dal ((split and husked bengal gram))

urad dal ((split and husked black gram))

cashews (- optional)

onions (or 1 medium-sized onion)

green chilli (or 1 green chilli)

ginger (or 1 inch ginger)

curry leaves (or 10 to 12 curry leaves)

water

salt (as required)

sugar (or add

coriander leaves

Finely chop 1 medium sized onion, 1 to 2 green chillies and 1 inch ginger and some coriander leaves. 

Also set aside the remaining ingredients.

Heat a pan or kadai first. Add rava or cream of wheat.

Begin to roast the rava. Stir often while roasting the rava.

The rava or sooji grains should become fragrant and start to look dry, separate and crisp. Don't brown the rava.

Switch off the flame and then add the roasted rava in a plate and keep aside.

Roasting rava

In a pan, heat ghee or oil. add the mustard seeds.

When you hear the crackling sound of mustard seeds, it means they are getting fried.

Now add the cumin seeds along with chana dal and urad dal.

Fry till they begin to brown a bit or get lightly golden

Immediately add cashews and begin to fry. By the time, the cashews get golden the lentils will also get golden.

Now add the finely chopped onions. Saute the onions till they become translucent.

Then add the chopped green chilly, ginger, curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds. You can also add 1 dried red chilli at this step.

Frying and sautéing

Then add 2.5 cups water, sugar and salt as required. Mix well and check the taste of water. It should be a bit salty but not too much.

Sugar is optional and you can skip it.

On a medium to high flame, heat the water and let it come to a rolling boiling.

Boiling water

When the water comes to a rolling boil, lower the flame to its lowest. Then add the rava in 4 to 5 batches with a spoon.

Once you add the rava, mix and stir immediately. The entire batch of rava should get mixed with the water evenly. Then add the next batch of roasted rava. Mix and stir again.

This way keep on adding and stirring the rava up to the last batch.

Quickly stir and mix well. The rava grains absorb water and thus swell and get cooked.

Cover and allow the rava upma to steam for 2 to 3 minutes on a low heat.

Then switch off the flame. Here the rava is cooked and the upma is ready.

Lastly add chopped coriander leaves. Mix again.

Serve upma with coconut chutney or lime slices or lime pickle.

Upma for Breakfast

A simple, easy &amp; basic South Indian Upma recipe that shares how to make Rava Upma that is soft &amp; fluffy. Also known as Rulaav (or Rulaanv) in konkani cuisine. It&#039;s a very popular Indian breakfast dish, that gets ready fairly quickly.

Upma Recipe | Rava Upma | Konkani Rulaav

ghee (melted (or coconut oil))

urad dal (split and skinned black gram)

black mustard seeds (rai)

green chilli (split vertically into 2 halves)

curry leaves (cadipatta)

ginger

semolina (sada rava)

sugar (optional, but recommended)

coconut

In a pan, take 3 tablespoons of melted ghee, and lightly heat it up.

To the ghee, first add 1½ teaspoon of urad dal, and lightly roast for a few seconds.

Then 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, and roast for a few seconds, till the mustard seeds start to pop.

Then add 1 green chilli (slit in two) and 5-6 big curry leaves, and lightly roast them for a few seconds.

After which add 1½ tablespoon of chopped ginger, and lightly roast for 1-2 minutes.

And then add in the 1 cup of rava (semolina), mix it in with the tempering, and lightly roast it for about 5-7 minutes on medium-low flame, stirring continuously, till it starts to slightly change color to a dark cream / light golden brown.

Do not roast the semolina on high flame as it might get burnt without getting evenly roasted. The roasting time can change based on the size of the granules, and how high the flame is. So it&#39;s best to watch out for the color to know when it is roasted.

When done, add 1 teaspoon salt &amp; 1 teaspoon sugar to it, and mix it in.

Then lower the flame (or even turn it off), and add in 3 cups of hot boiling water, and stir it in. Lowering the flame will help reduce splatter from adding hot water to the semolina. Or you can hold a splatter screen on top to contain the splatter.

At this point, also add in ¼ cup of grated coconut, and mix it in.

As the semolina soaks up the water, you can increase the heat back to medium, or start the gas back on, if you had turned it off.

Stir continuously while the semolina soaks up all the excess water. It will take a couple of minutes.

When done, it&#39;ll start to leave ghee on the sides. At this point, turn off the heat.
