Buttermilk Upma

(from Nandini’s recipe box)

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves 2 people

Categories: Upma

Ingredients

  • Take in a cup and mix:
  • Roasted Upma Rava - one cup
  • Buttermilk - one and half cups (homemade from Indian yogurt suits this recipe)
  • Water - one and half cups
  • Roasted cashews or peanuts - quarter cup
  • Salt - quarter teaspoon or to taste
  • In a wide skillet, heat and toast:
  • One tablespoon of ghee or oil
  • Add a teaspoon each - chana dal, urad dal, , broken red chilli pieces and curry leaves, in the order mentioned. Toast to golden color. Dals add crunchy bite and curry leaves bring an unforgettable aroma to the upma. I usually add one finely chopped green

Directions

  1. Add and cook:

  2. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the upma rava-buttermilk-water mixture to the skillet, continuously stirring. Cover and cook until the water is absorbed and the rava becomes fluffy. Serve warm with chutney/spicy powders, or with a teaspoon of honey/sugar sprinkled on the top for that delightful sweet, tangy taste.
