Yes, we fall under the category that considers going vegetarian on Tuesdays. So last night was veg food day and we decided to make some amazing upma exactly the way you get in South Indian restaurants. I am no expert in making this lovely dish but my MIL is an amazing chef. She makes some amazing dishes. Next is avail on the list. Will keep you guys posted. So here is the quick and super easy recipe.
Rava – 1 katori (this should be roasted. Do not make it dark brown but yes, slightly roasted with a tbsp. of oil)
1 chopped onion
Green chilies – 3 – 4
Chopped coriander – 1 big bowl
Curry leaves
Ginger – ¾ th inch (finely chopped, she usually grates it)
Sugar – she usually ads 2 tsp (depends totally on how you like it)
Oil, ghee and salt as per taste
Mustard seeds, jeera and split urad dal
Ghee
Imp – Ensure you have readied piping hot water. Measure 3:1 (3 cups of water for 1 cup rava)
In a kadai, add oil let it heat and then add Mustard seeds, jeera and split urad dal, curry leaves, green chilies, onion and a fistful coriander
Now add the roasted rava & mix it well
