Rava Upma
I don't think many of us need a recipe to make uppuma which is the very basic tiffin item of Indians. But for me making it without lumps was a great challenge till I learned the technique from Packiam aunty in my dad's house.
Ingredients:
Rava (semolina) - 1 1/2 cup
water - 2 1/4 cup
{water = (number of cups of ravai x 2) - (3/4 cup)}
salt - 1/4 tsp (1/8 tsp per cup of rava)
onion - 1 (small)
green chilly - 2
ginger - 1 inch
curry leaf - 1 sprig
channa dhal - 1 tbsp
mustard - 1/2 tsp
Shredded coconut - 2 tbsp (optional)
sesame oil - 2 to 3 tsp.
Method:
Heat a wok. Dry roast the rava till it smells good / starts to become coarse like sand.
Transfer it to a plate .
Chop the onion, curry leaf, ginger, green chilly finely.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in the same wok.
Add mustard seed. let it splutter. Then add the channa dhal and fry all the chopped ingredients along with it.
As the onion starts to become transparent, add the water + Salt and let it come to a boil.
Then reduce flame and sprinkle the rava in equal spacing , just like shower. Don't stir. (Stirring will result in lumps)
Immediately cover with a lid. Reduce flame to minimum.
After 3 minutes in low flame , open the lid and start to stir using a spatula.
we can see the uppuma get cooked well and starts leaving the edges.
Put off fire. Add shredded coconut , if desired.
Now we get a very dry uppuma without any lumps.
Serving suggestions:
Serve as breakfast or dinner along with coconut chutney or sugar.
The above said quantity served two adults.
