Godhuma Rava Upma
I made this incredibly easy to make upma for breakfast today. The base for this upma is Cracked wheat, which is called Godhuma Rava in tamil. Godhuma rava is high in fiber, and I made this upma more fiber rich. by the addition of fresh green peas. Because of the fiber content, this upma is more healthier than the regular rava upma. An intake of some protein, along with this upma makes for a truly healthy start to your day. Sambar made with toor dal, moong dal is a good source of protein and, it complements this upma perfectly.
Let's proceed to the recipe
Ingredients:
Godhuma Rava - 2 cups
Salt- to taste
Turmeric powder- 1 tsp
Asafoetida- a pinch
Ghee - 2 tsps ( for roasting the rava)
Water- 5 cups
Notes:
In a kadai, heat 2 tsps of ghee, and roast the rava, until it is hot to touch. Transfer it to a bowl, and keep aside.
Vegetables used:
Tomatoes- 1 (finely chopped)
Frozen green peas-1/2 cup
Green chillies- 1 (finely chopped)
Grated ginger- a small knob
Spices for seasoning:
Mustard seeds- 1 tsp
Preparation
In a kadai, heat ghee. When hot, add the mustard seeds. Once it splutters, add the green chillies,grated ginger, chopped tomatoes, asafoetida, and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn mushy. Add the frozen peas, and turmeric powder.
Add 3 cups of water, and when it starts boiling, slowly add the roasted wheat rava, stirring continuously, so as to avoid any lumps. Cook covered on a medium flame, until all the water evaporates and the upma is cooked evenly.
Transfer to a plate and serve this nutritious upma with a side of chutney, sambar or some pickle.
Notes:
1. Adding 2 teaspoons of ghee at the end enriches the upma's flavor. This is purely optional.
2. You can make this upma with onions and other veggies like beans, carrot, potatoes etc.
