Vegetable Rava Upma Recipe: learn how to make vegetable rava upma using this easy, classic recipe, a popular South Indian Breakfast!

 

Vegetable Rava Upma Recipe-Easy Rava Upma RecipePin

I love breakfast, and I love it more when it’s served for dinner. I guess I was just raised like that. We had dosa for dinner 5 out of 7 days a week and my mom’s idlis are very popular among friends in Kottayam. She even used to make them for small parties and get togethers where people used to skip the appam and curry and come straight for her spongy soft idli.

Anyway, breakfast for dinner. I continue the same thing after marriage too. TH used to say “dosa ya? Night kaa??” the first couple of times but even he understands the convenience of making a few dosas and having it with hot, freshly made sambar.

Rava Upma was never a favourite while growing up. I like my upma dry (or rather, drier) and not sticky. I also like to add any vegetables in hand to it and make it wholesome. Here is my super simple upma recipe that we have never had for breakfast yet, always just for dinner.

    What is the heat setting for Step 2 (2. Heat oil in the same pan and add the mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves. When the dal turns golden brown and the mustard seeds splutter, add the onions, green chillies and ginger. Fry for 4-5 mins until the onions turns golden brown.)?

    I assume that the pan should be uncovered for Step 4 (when rava is being cooked).

    Thanks.

      There's no particular heat setting. Keep flame at medium and when the mustard pops, you are good to proceed.

      There's no need to cover the pan at any time during the making of rava upma

    Vey good for new cooks. Roasting the rava is essential, preferably with a little ghee. Upma should never be sticky though it is becoming common these days! One can make the carb more complex(speciallygood for diabetics and those tending to heart disease) by adding barley "rava" or oats.

    Nags, this morning I felt like making upma. Googled and followed your recipe, and it made such an awesome Upma! Hubby hails from Hyderabad, and he loved it too. Glad I have a better recipe to follow than his 😉
    Thanks so much!
