Arisi upma | rice rava upma
I am going to show 2 ways of preparing rice rava Upma
Wash 1 cup of rice and immediately drain the water.
Spread the rice on a clean kitchen towel
Spread 1/2 tbsp black peppercorns and 1.5 tbsp toor dal on the wet rice.
After 1.5 to 2 hours the rice becomes dry
Blend to a coarse rava-like consistency.
Heat 3 tbsp oil.
Temper with 1 tsp each of mustard seeds, urad dal, 1 red chilli, 1/4 tsp hing, curry leaves , 1 tbsp grated Ginger, 2 to 3 green chillies finely chopped.
Add 1/4 cup grated coconut.
Add finely chopped vegetables. Adding vegetables is optional. But I recommend adding them for taste and nutrition. I added 1/2 cup each of chopped carrots, beans and 1/4 cup of green peas.
Till this point, the steps are the same for both the Kadai method and the cooker method
For the first method now cover and cook until it comes to a rolling boil
Then lower the flame and add the rice rava.
Cover and cook on a low flame for 9 minutes stirring intermittently
Then switch off the flame
Add 1 tbsp of ghee
Enjoy yummy upma with chutney
For the cooker method
After adding the grated coconut and vegetables switch off the flame immediately. Do not bring to a rolling boil.
Transfer the entire mixture to a vessel.
Place this vessel inside a cooker.
Close the lid and allow 3 whistles.
Open the cooker after the pressure is gone.
Yummy upma is ready.
Add ghee and enjoy with chutney/ sambar or pickle of your choice.
