Hubby dear is a big fan of my mother's Rava Upma,he says my mom makes the best Upma in the World.My mom too loves Sanjeev's rare compliments and prepares several boxes of Upma anytime its on the breakfast Menu and offers it to us so that we can consume it during different parts of the day.We being crazily in love with it have no objection what so ever in having it for all the 3 meals of the day..You can imagine how much we relish mom's Upma..
Another person who cooks yummy Upma is my dear friend
It was a Saturday evening and hubby dear was reminded of my mom's Upma and wanted me to prepare the same.I was a little apprehensive given the high standards that my mom had set for this simple recipe but I definitely didn't wanted to disappoint him..Mom was out of station on a temple tour and I didn't wanted to disturb her asking for the recipe so I tried the below recipe with some healthy ingredients and it was a super duper HIT!!..Hubby dear enjoyed it thoroughly and so did my FIL except for the carrot chunks that intefered his taste buds..
Ingredients
1)Sooji Rava - 1 cup
2)Chopped Carrot - 1 cup
3)Chopped Beans - 1 cup
4)Finely chopped Onion - 1 cup
5)Finely chopped Coriander leaves - 1/2 cup
6)Finely chopped curry leaves - 1/2 cup
7)Turmeric - 1 tsp
8)Chilli powder - 2 tbsp
9)Garam masala - 1 tsp
10)Ginger Garlic Paste - 2 tsp
11)Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
12)Olive Oil - 2tbsp
13)Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
14)Whole Urad dal - 1/2 tsp
15)Salt - to taste
16)Finely chopped tomato - 1 cup
17)Water - 2 cups
18)Lime juice - 3 tbp
19)Flax Seed powder - 3 tbp
Procedure
1)Heat 1/2 tbsp of Olive oil in a non-stick Deep Fry Pan .Add rava and flax seed powder.
2)Roast it constantly by folding in until the raw smell is completely gone but ensure that it doesnt turn brown.The oil secreted from the flax seed powder will prevent the rava from sticking to eachother once cooked.
3)Add 1/2 tbp of Olive oil and roast for another 2-3 mins.
4)Transfer it into a wide plate and let it cool by itself at room temperature
5)Heat 1 tbsp of Olive oil and add mustard seeds,fennel seeds and whole urad dal seeds
6)Add the chopped onions once the seeds begin to splutter.
7)Add ginger garlic paste,turmeric powder,salt ,curry leaves,coriander leaves and garam masala.Cook them till the onion turns brown.Continue to fry them by constantly scrapping the bottom.
8)Add the chopped tomatoes,chilli powder,carrots and beans and cook them by closing the lid.Stir it occationally and sprinkle a little water if the need be.
9)Once the vegetables are soft add the rava and gently fold till they are well incorporated.At this point you will find rava as white dots all over the cooked masala and vegetables.Close the lid.
10)Boil 2 cups of water.
11)Add the hot water , lime juice and gently fold in.At this point the rava would quickly absorb the water and you will still notice some white dots.
12)Close the lid and let it cook for 5-6 mins in low flame opening the lid after every 2 mins to fold in.
13)Turn off the stove and let is remain on the stove with lid closed for another 3-4 mins.
15)Add some more the chopped coriander leaves and fold in.
16)Serve with raita or with pickle.
