Coming back to today's recipe,ie,UPMA...most of us just hate upma,it is one of the underestimated food.But upma is the most versatile and easiest dish in the world.But sometimes it gets too dry.So I use a little bit of curd in my upma.
So that it keeps everthing so moist and each bite just melts in your mouth.This recipe is a basic method of cooking upma.but there is a another version where you will add lots of vegetables and some other stuff,i will make that and post later.I served this dish with Spicy coconut chutney(will put recipe soon).

Version 2: Rava Upma Recipe (with vegetables)
I love rava upma a lot. In my opinion, rava upma has to be very soft and should just melt in your mouth. If you don't make it properly, it will dry up and make it so hard to swallow. But you dont have to worry about that because i have found a amazing method which will make this world a better place.
The key for a beautiful soft upma is you have to add a generous amount of oil and ghee while making it and also a cup of milk will do the trick. Yes adding a cup of milk will make this upma so meltingly delicious.
I have made this upma will lots of veggies so it makes it even more tasty. If you are looking for a basic upma, i have a recipe of that too, you can see u can see i have a trick there too. So try this out and let me know how it turned out for you.

Aarthi
@AnonymousYes u can use. U need 2 cup water for 1 cup wheat rava
Kavi Tinku
hI Aarthi, Thank you for all your recipes.
Just a small clarification, no need to fry the rawa for preparing upma? i see you add in straight without frying....kindly advice....
Reem Sunil
Ur second sentence says to add rava to ghee for roasting.
Aarthi
@Kavi Tinkui didn't took pic of it. but roast rava in ghee a little. u can use unroasted rava as well
Aarthi
@Reem Sunilyes u have use roast them

Hi Aarthi,
I am new to cooking and had been sincerely following your recipes. Some of them had turned up really good (ghee pongal and sambhar are hit at home). I tried this recipe yesterday, the upuma turned thick quickly before I could turn the stove to low flame. So at the end the upuma turned little dry, although the taste was good. Any thoughts on what is the mistake that I made?
Note: I prepared half the quantity of the prescribed recipe.
