Growing up I was not a big fan of upmas, especially the one with sooji & godhuma rava (dalia). I would eat them grudgingly but never really liked them. As an adult, I slowly developed a taste to these upmas, may be because they are so quick & easy to make and can be dressed up or down as per occasion. I like the one made with Godhuma rawa more than any other and usually try to keep stock of it in the fridge (so it doesn’t turn rancid).
It is also my go-to ingredient when I have to make something quick for my son’s lunch and he seems to like it (or so I think, ‘cos he can’t really say “I don’t like it” yet).
1 Onion – small, chopped fine(I used a medium sized shallot)
1 cup Mixed veggies – (I used chopped potato with frozen mixed veggies with carrots, string beans, peas & corn)
1 Tomato – chopped
½ tsp Chili powder
1 tbsp Lemon juice
to taste Salt
For Tadka:
½ tsp Mustard seeds
½ tsp Cumin seeds
6 Curry leaves
Steps
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a sauce pan; add the tadka ingredients and after the seeds pop add the chopped onion and sauté till translucent.
Then add mixed veggies (thawed if frozen) and tomato; cover and cook till veggies are cooked and tomato is mushy. Season with salt and chili powder.
Add rava and sauté for couple of minutes. To this add 2½ cups of water; bring the mixture to a boil on medium-high heat. Turn the flame to low; cover and simmer till all the liquid is absorbed and the rawa is completely cooked.
Stir in lemon juice and enjoy with either peanut chutney or raitha or any pickle.
