Assemble all ingredients together to avoid last minute rush.

Wash and finely chop potato, onion, green chilli , carrot, capsicum, ginger and some coriander leaves.

Peel off the green peas. If you don’t have enough time for peeling peas, can take frozen peas.

Heat a Pan and add rava. Start roasting it on low heat and stir often. The rava grains start looking dry, separate and crisp. Don’t overdo the roasting.

To make Vegetable Rava Upma, heat oil / ghee in a Pan and add mustard seeds.

After mustard seeds, crackled, add cumin seeds. Saute them till they turn light golden.

Then, add potato and cook them completely. Now, add cashews and begin to fry.

Now add chopped onions and saute them till they turn translucent.

Then add chopped green chilly, carrot, capsicum, peas, ginger, curry leaves. Sauté for a few minutes. Don`t overdo and let the crunch of vegetables be there.

Now, add all spices and saute them for few minutes.

Then add 2.5 cups water. Mix well and check the taste of water. It should be a bit salty but not too much.

On a medium to high flame, heat the water and let it come to a rolling boiling.

When the water comes to a rolling boil, lower the flame to its lowest. Then add the rava in 4 to 5 batches with a spoon.

Mix and stir immediately. Rava should get mixed with the water evenly. The rava grains absorb water, swell and get cooked.

Cover the Pan and allow Upma to steam for 2 to 3 minutes on a low heat.

At the end, add chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice before serving.

Serve Vegetable Rava Upma with green chutney. For Green Chutney Recipe, you can check on our Website or click this link.
