Upma:

1
katori Rava

1
tsp ghee

1
tsp oil

1
small onion, sliced lengthwise

1
small carrot, peeled and grated

2-3
cloves

1/4th
tsp Urad Dal

1/4th
tsp Chana Dal

1
Green Chilly, slit

Kadipata
leaves

A
few cashews, broken to bits 

Method:

In a pan add ghee and oil and mix till they meld together.
Add chana dal, urad dal, and cashews and fry till they start coloring. Add the cloves,
chilly and kadipatas and fry for a bit, after which add the onions and the
grated carrot. Fry till the onions become transparent.

Add 2 and a half katoris of water, salt to taste and
wait until the water starts boiling. After the first boil, turn down the flame
and start adding the rava slowly, stirring continuously. When it is a smooth
mix, cover the pan and let it cook for the next 6-10 minutes, stirring in
between and adding water if required.

Note: The above method can be used to make *Seviyan
Upma as well, the only difference being the proportion of Water:Seviyan would
be 1and 1/2: 1.

*Use MTR’s upma Seviyan/Semiyan, and not the one used for making Kheer 🙂
