Upma(for fasting)

Serves -2

We make this upma during fasting times.Especially on ekadesi times. I love this upma and goes best with sugar or pickle.So easy to make with no much ingredients.

Ingredients:

• Rava/Sooji -1 cup
• Green chilli -4 os
• Curd -2 tbsp 
• Grated coconut-2 tbsp
• Asafoetida -A pinch
• Coriander leaves -1 tbsp
• Salt -to taste

To temper:

• Oil-2 tsp
• Mustard seeds-1/4 tsp
• Urad dhal -1/2 tsp
• Channa dhal -1/2 tsp
• Curry leaves -1 spring

Method:

• Dry roast rava/sooji for about 2 minutes till you get nice aroma. This avoids formation of lumps while making upma.
• In a pan temper with items given under 'to temper'.
• Then add green chilli followed by 2 cups of water(or add more if it requires) and coconut gratings and curd.
• Add salt,coriander leaves, when it comes to boil add rava/sooji and mix well so that there are no lumps.
• Close the pan cook till done in low flame.
• Serve with sugar/pickle &curd.

Notes:

• Adding coconut and curd gives good flavour and taste as we don't add anything else in this.
• Add more water if needed.
