Rava / Semolina Upma

Dear friends, this is the a very simple breakfast recipe ,Rava upma.I sometimes wonder how this recipe is favourite among people.I never have great interest in making this recipe  .But after a longtime last week I made this and it tasted  really good  , so I changed my opinion about this.Its a nutritious dish and I added only carrots  but if you wish you can add beans,peas,potatoes or capsicum.This dish tastes best when it served hot.Now to this quick recipe…

Now pour the water and add required salt and allow it to boil.

When it starts boiling add the roasted rava little by little with constant stirring to avoid forming lumps.Soon the rava will absorb the water and comes shiny without sticking to the pan.Its all done and ready to serve . We prefer to have upma with sugar.

Notes:

I hate dry rava upma so I added little more water.If you want it dry use 2 cups of water.
