- When the water starts boiling, add Roasted Semolina (Sooji) slowly into the water. Keep stirring the sooji so that no lumps are formed.
- Mix it properly and cook for 4-5 minutes under low flame or till the semolina gets cooked properly.
- Add 1 tablespoon Ghee and mix it uniformly so that it spreads all through the semolina. South Indian Rava Upma is ready to be served. Serve it with tea in breakfast or as snacks in the evening.
Notes
- Here I have not used any vegetables. If you want you can add vegetables such as carrot, capsicum, peas, tomatoes, etc.
- The ratio of water and semolina should be proper to make tasty and delicious upma.
- Fresh Rava should be used for preparing upma. Also it should be roasted properly.
- Upma can be served plain or it can be served with coconut chutney.
