Rava Upma

Ingredients:

Bombay Rava (Fine Sooji) - 2 cups
Finely Chopped Vegetables - 2 or 3 cups
(Carrots, Green Beans, Green Peas, Capsicum etc.)
Green Chillies
Mustard Seeds
Hing
Oil - 2 tbs
Ghee - 1 tbs

Preparation:

1. Roast Rava with Ghee. You can tell by the aroma and the light brown tinge the Rava gets that it is done.

2. In a wok, make tadka by heating Oil and adding Mustard Seeds and Hing.
3. Add chopped Green Chillies.
4. Add the chopped vegetables and saute them.

5. Add 4 cups of water. Thumb rule: 1 measure of Rava takes 2 measures of water.
6. Add salt and bring it to a boil.
7. Now lower the heat and slowly add roasted Rava while stirring constantly.

8. Mix well to avoid lumps. The Upma becomes hard in a few seconds.

9. Cover the Upma and leave it on low heat for 1 min, stirring occasionally.

Good with any pickle or Rasam.
