When I was a kid I used to run away if I saw rava upma as a breakfast. My mom makes it once in a while and whenever she makes upma I fight with her. But during hostel days, hunger forced me to eat the upma. And, then I realized the taste behind upma and started liking it. I don't get a chance to prepare upma after marriage since Jany hates it completely. So whenever we go to my mom's place I have rava upma. These pics are clicked during my last visit to hometown.

Ingredients:

Rava (Semolina) - 1 cup 

Water - 2 cups

Onion - 1  

Green Chilli - 2

Grated Coconut - 1/4 cup 

Salt - as required

For tempering: 

Oil - 1 tsp 

Ghee - 1 tsp(Optional)

Mustard - 1/2 tsp

Curry leaves - as required 

1. Dry roast the rava and take care not to burn the rava.
2. In a pan add the oil. Once it is hot, allow the mustard seeds to crackle. Then add the curry leaves followed by onions. Once the onions turn light pink, add the grated coconut, green chilli and give a quick stir. 
3. Add 2 cups of water and required salt. Once it boils add the rava and mix continuously. Cook in medium flame, since it will splutter at this stage. While adding rava, don't pour it to the centre. Spread the rava in the pan uniformly and stir in between to avoid lumps. If required sprinkle water.
4. Cook the Rava stirring it till the water is absorbed completely. Close with the lid until you serve. Serve it with Banana and sugar. You can also serve it with coconut chutney.
