Ingredient

2 tbsp

Coriander Leaves (For Garnish)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat a pan. Add a teaspoon of ghee and semolina and roast it on low flame. Remove from pan and transfer it on to a plate and set it aside.

* Step 2

In the same pan, heat a teaspoon of ghee. Add cashewnuts and raisins and fry them slightly. Remove from pan and transfer it on to a plate. Set is aside.

* Step 3

In the same pan, heat another teaspoon of ghee. Keeping the flame on medium, add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Add broken red chillies and curry leaves. Next add the chopped onions, green chillies, tomatoes and the grated ginger.

* Step 4

Sauté till the onions turn translucent. Next add green peas and the finely chopped carrot and potatoes. Sauté for a minute. Then add turmeric powder, sugar and salt. Sauté it again for a minute. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until peas and potatoes are tender.

* Step 5

Meanwhile, heat a teaspoon of ghee in a tadka pan. Add soaked chana and urad dal and asafoetida and cook till done. Pour this in the pan over the vegetables and sauté for a minute.

* Step 6

Add water and allow it to boil. For 1/2 cup rava I used 1 and 1/2 cup of water, which turned out perfect.

* Step 7

When the water starts boiling, reduce the flame to low, and add the roasted rava little at a time and stir immediately to avoid lumps. Cook for a minute or two. Cover and cook on low flame until all the water is absorbed and upma is thick.

* Step 8

Open the lid and add the fried cashewnuts and raisins, lemon juice and the ghee in which the dals were fried.

* Step 9

Garnish it with chopped coriander leaves. Mix it well. Turn off the flame and allow it to rest for 5 minutes, before serving it.

* Step 10

Delicious Spicy Tomato Rava Upma is ready. Enjoy it immediately for breakfast or as an evening snack with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Serve as tiffin meal in kid’s lunch box.
