March 19, 2021VEGETABLE GODHUMAI RAVA UPMA OR BROKEN WHEAT UPMA
Breakfasts are the Pride of Indian Cusine I would say. Because regardless of the various region of our country, every meal we eat are prepared with lots of care. They are not just tasty but absolutely healthy in one or another way. Especially, breakfasts can be idly, Pongal, Chapathi, Puttu, Idiyappam, or Umpa. Everything is healthy in its unique way on top of that the side dishes we generally eat with them are the perfect combo that can complement each other in taste as well as in its health benefits.
Recently, in research to find out the best food as a breakfast which includes the food choice in all around the world. They have concluded that Pazhaya Satham(Cooked Rice Soaked in water overnight) is a Soul Food(The Probiotic way of Breaking Fast). Because the results show the list of benefits of having Pazhankanji as breakfast is significant. The benefits are Preventing fatigue, Cures ulcers, Secretes breastmilk in lactating mothers, Helps relieve constipation, Beauty care product, and Reduces blood pressure. This is not the case with any other food on their list.
The lists won't surprise us especially the south Indians. Because our ancestors have been telling the same for centuries just without any Scientific researches. There are genuine geniuses. And I am personally proud and happy as a die heart fan of Pazhaya satham. Pazhaya satham and the leftover vaththa kulambu with raw onions are my favorite combo. I know most of those who have tried before will agree with me 100%, WELL!! Cheers!!
And getting into today's dish this is absolute of such healthy and tasty recipes like mention at the beginning. Gothumai Rava(Wheat Rava) is definitely a healthy option to include in over diet. It's suitable for every person in the family who are in different age groups and indifferent health conditions.
Basically, my family is an Umpa Family😉😂 so for sure this upma is on top of our list. I love its texture and its flavor it's just perfect and it will keep me full for a longer time.
Even though it's a very common recipe I hope my style of cooking this recipe will give a new way of making it more tasty and healthy. So let's get into the preparation.
INGREDIENTS:
1. Samba Rava - 2cup.
2. Onion -1/4cup.
3. Carrot -1/4cup.
4. Beans -1/4cup.
5. Cabbage -1/4cup.
6. Tomato -1/2cup or 1 large size.
7. Green Chili -2-4.
8. Ginger -1small piece.
9. Salt -as per taste.
10. Oil -2tbsp.
11. Mustard -1/2tsp.
12. Channa dal -1/2tsp.
13. Water -51/2 - 6cup.
METHOD:
1. Clean and fine chop all the vegetables.
2. In a wide pan heat some oil, add mustard, and channa dal. After mustard cracked and channa dal get roasted add finely chopped onion and let it cook for a minute by adding a pinch of salt.
3. Then add green peas and saute them for a minute. Roasting the peas first will help to avoid the smell of peas. Personally, I don't like the peas dominating flavor in my dish so prefer to cook it first before adding other vegetables.
4. Otherwise you can add all the finely chopped vegetables like carrot, beans, peas, and cabbage one by one along with slit green chilis.
5. Once the vegetables are half cooked add the tomatoes and salt enough for the vegetables, cover, and let them cook completely.
6. After tomatoes got mussy and cooked add turmeric(optional) powder and grated ginger and give it a good mix.
7. Then add water and salt enough for the whole dish and let it boil by covering it with a lid.
8. Once the water started boiling add wheat Rava little by a little while mixing the wheat rava in the boiling vegetable water to avoid lumps.
9. After adding all the Rava close it and let it cook for 8-10mins in simmer.
10. And finally once the rava observed all the water and got cooked completely add finely chopped fresh coriander leaves for extra flavor and give a quick mix and let it rest at least for 5mins before serving.
11. Now serve super tasty and non-sticky Vegetable Gothumai Rava Upma with your family's favorite chutney and Enjoy.

NOTE:
1. In general, people used to roast Dalia(Wheat Rava) while preparing this recipe. Since I wanted to make it simple I just skipped that. Roasting Dalia will enhance the flavor, other than this I wasn't able to find any differences. And we were satisfied with the results when I prepared this upma without roasting.2. When I am preparing this Upma for my kids I used to replace green chilis with pepper powder and while adding grated ginger will add a 1/4spoon of methi powder as well, just to make it more healthy.
3. And finally, if you are preparing this for elders at your home then I would suggest increasing the amount of water at least half a cup per cup of Rava. Just to make sure it got cooked completely and easy for them to eat.
Hope you guys got some tips to make your Kothmai Rava Upma more healthy and tasty as well. And feel free to share your ideas and suggestion to improve the recipes in the comment section. Until next time, “Stay Positive and Keep Smiling 😀”.
