Add curry leaves + chilli + grated ginger and give a stir  .

Add the carrot and stir fry for a min .

Add the rava , mix well and fry for 4 to 5 mins on low flame . **[ this mixture can now be stored in a container and kept in fridge for a day ]

Remove the mixture in a plate.

In the same pan keep 4 cups of water + salt to boil .

Gradually add the roasted rava and mix well so that no lumps are formed . [ be careful as the rava may splutter ]

Cook till the rava absorbs complete water .

Cover and cook for 2  mins till the rava is fully cooked.

In between stir so that the rava doesn’t stick to the bottom.

Off the flame , cover and allow it to rest for 3 to 4  mins.

Serve hot with chutney + vada + filter coffee  .

NOTES

  1. Instead of urad dal , we can add chana dal while tempering .
  2. Don’t reduce ghee or oil , infact you can add little more for more flavour, also rava has dry texture .
  3. Roasting well is compulsory or the upma will be sticky.
  4. Instead of green chilli you can add red chilli .
  5. You can also drizzle few drops of lemon in the end.
