Recipe for Vegetable Upma

Upma(in south India, Karnataka, also called Uppittu) is one of the most consumed breakfasts for the morning. Either plain upma or different combinations of vegetables can be made in this Upma. I always suggest making upma with combinations of veggies since you will not be bored with that taste. 

vegetables can be Beans, Carrot, Potato and green peas. Apart from this, I am not aware of any other combinations which suit well for the recipe. Now let's look at the method of this recipe

Preparation method:

1. Clean and chop all the vegetables and keep them aside.
 

2. Fry rava for 5 to 10 min till the raw smell goes. you need to continuously stir so that rava should not get burnt.

3. Later taken another vessel or frying pan and heat it.

4. Add oil and mustard seeds and let them splutter.
5. Later add all the dal and fry for sometime. 

6. Add Onion, green chillies,curry leaves and fry till it becomes translucent.

7. Add all the chopped vegetables(you can add gree peas) and fry with a little high flame upto 5 to 10 min until raw smell goes away.

8.Add tomato and fry for some time till it becomes translucent.

9. Once all the vegetables get cooked, add coriander leaves, salt, and water. Water quantity should be double than rava. 

10. Once the water starts boiling, add roased rava and stir it. close the lid and cook for another 5-10 min.

Now vegetable rava upma is ready to eat. serve it hot with any chatni.
