கடுகு  - 1 தேக்கரண்டி 

துருவிய தேங்காய் - 2 தேக்கரண்டி 

நல்லெண்ணெய் - 2  + 1 மேசைக்கரண்டி 

Measurement 

water = number of cups of ravai x 2

Salt - 1/2 tsp (1/4tsp per cup of rava) 

Rava for 1 adult = 3/4 cup

Method: 

Heat a wok. Add ravai and mix 1 Tbsp Sesame oil with ravai.

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, Carrot finely. 

Heat 2 tbsp oil in the same wok. 

Add mustard seed. let it splutter. Once it starts popping ,  add the channa dhal and let it turn mild red.

Then add chopped onion, chili, carrot , curry leaf cilantro.

Fry all the chopped ingredients till the onion starts to become transparent ( 2 mins in medium heat).

Add the water + Salt and let it come to a boil. (Water for rava upma is twice the measure of rava). (For very coarse upma reduce 1/2 cup water from the total measure. For sticky upma the ratio is 1 part rava :3 parts water).

Then reduce flame and sprinkle the rava in equal spacing , just like shower. 

Don't stir. (Stirring will result in uneven cooking) .

Immediately cover with a lid. 

Reduce flame to minimum. 

After 2-3  minutes in low flame , open the lid and start to stir using a spatula. 

we can see the uppuma got cooked well and starts leaving the edges. 

Cook covered in low flame once again for 5 mins.

Switch off. 

Add shredded coconut or ghee and mix well (optional). 

Perfectly cooked upma is ready !

Serving suggestions: 

Serve as breakfast or dinner along with coconut chutney or sugar. 

I like my upma with pickle or some karakulambu.
