Millet Upma Rava

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Millet Rava

• 2 ½ cups Water

• 1 Onion (finely chopped)

• 1-2 Green Chillies (slit)

• 1 tsp Mustard Seeds

• 1 tsp Urad Dal

• 1 tsp Chana Dal

• Few Curry Leaves

• 1 small piece of Ginger (grated)

• 1-2 tbsp Oil or Ghee

• Salt to taste

• Optional: Mixed vegetables (carrot, beans, peas), roasted cashews for garnish

Preparation Steps:

1. Dry roast the millet rava in a pan for 3–4 minutes on medium flame until you get a nutty aroma. Set aside.

2. In a pan, heat oil or ghee. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

3. Add urad dal and chana dal. Fry until golden brown.

4. Add chopped onions, green chillies, ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté until onions turn translucent.

5. (Optional) Add chopped vegetables and sauté for 2–3 minutes.

6. Pour in 2 ½ cups of water and add salt. Bring it to a boil.

7. Once boiling, add roasted millet rava slowly while stirring to avoid lumps.

8. Cover and cook on a low flame for 5–7 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rava is cooked.

9. Fluff gently with a fork. Garnish with coriander leaves or roasted cashews, if desired.
