Ingredients

• • 2 tablespoons of ghee
  • 1 cup of Sooji (rava)
  • 1 teaspoon chana dal
  • 1 medium-sized onion
  • 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of urad dal
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 inch finely chopped ginger
  • 1 teaspoon chopped green chilli
  • 1-2 teaspoon of sugar
  • Salt as per taste
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 10 to 12 curry leaves
  • 2 ½ cups of water
  • salt as required
  • 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves

How to Prepare

• • First of all, heat a pan. Roast the sooji or rava in the same pan.
  • Keep the flame on medium and roast the sooji.
  • Once the sooji turns aromatic, crispy and slightly golden, turn off the flame.
  • Keep the roasted rava in a separate plate and keep it aside.
  • In the same pan, heat ghee and add the mustard seeds along with curry leaves.
  • Make sure the gas flame is on medium and the mustards don't burn.
  • After this, add cumin seeds along with urad dal and chana dal.
  • Fry the lentils until golden brown or lightly golden in colour.
  • Add the finely chopped onions along with chopped chilies and ginger.
  • Saute till onions become translucent.
  • Add 2½ cups of water, sugar and salt as required. Mix well and let the water boil for 2-3 minutes.
  • While keeping the gas flame medium add sooji into the pan.
  • After adding the sooji, mix and stir immediately. Otherwise the sooji would form lumps.
  • You will see that the sooji absorbs all the water but you still need to stir continuously.
  • Once you are done mixing the sooji along with the ingredients in the pan, cover and cook the sooji for around 2-3 minutes on a low flame.
  • Turn off the flame.
  • Garnish the Upma with chopped cilantro and mix well.
  • Serve upma with coconut chutney.
