Godhumai Rava Uppuma - Get Cooking
1. Heat the oil and pop the mustard. Add the green chillies, onions, ginger and half the curry leaves. Stir for 10 seconds.
2. To this add the water, cracked wheat, salt and asafoetida powder. Stir for 5 seconds until the salt is fully absorbed into the gravy.
Close the lid of the pan and cook over a medium flame for 7 minutes until the water is fully absorbed. Alternatively, pressure cook for 2 whistles.
4. Keep stirring for 2 minutes until the water evaporates fully and the snack turns into a crumbly texture.
5. Add the rest of the curry leaves and grated coconut. Mix well and remove from the stove.
6. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
Serve for breakfast or as an evening meal.
Timely Tip: Omit the onion and add ½ cup of roasted and crushed peanuts and serve for festive days or to orthodox visitors who don’t eat onions. Dhalia - broken or fine - is available in the Indian groceries. The broken dhalia is ideally suited for this uppuma. If dhalia is of a finer variety you need to add ½ a cup less water to cook the fine variety.
Tasty Tip: Add 1 cup mixed vegetables, 2 cup roasted moong dal, extra ginger and hing with the wheat and turn it into a khichdi/pongal.
