Notes
I use double roasted rava so skip roasting most of the time.
You can roast the rava and keep it ready to save time
You can add some veggies and small tomato too.
Add some grated ginger for additional flavor and garnish with coriander leaves
We love the consistency of the upma to be soft and smooth. You can reduce the water to 2.5 cups if you want it grainy.
Adding ghee elevates the flavor of the upma so don't skip it.
