Upma

This is yet another very easy recipe for breakfast. I love upma days coz it is very easy to make...don't have to bother about a side dish..... and also I love the twinkle in my son's eye when he sees the Upma...

Rava: 1 cup
Boiling Water: 11/2 cups
(You can use 2 1/2 cups water if you want a soggy upma.. but Kerala upma is a bit dry...I like that)
Ghee 1 tbsp
Onion: 1 small diced
Ginger: 1/2 inch diced
Mustard: 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves: 1 sprig
Green chillies: 2 slit
Salt: as required


Dry roast the rava on a low flame. Be careful not to brown it. Allow it to cool.

Heat the ghee, splutter mustard, curry leaves and add the
onions, ginger and green chillies and saute for 2 minutes.

Add the Rava and a minute later add the boiling water and salt and mix properly in a low flame.

Cover with a lid and switch off the stove.

Take off the lid after 5 minutes and serve hot.
