INGREDIENTS:

  • 250g wheat semolina (rava)
  • 2 onions (chopped)
  • 1 tomato (chopped)
  • 4 green chilies (slit)
  • 1 carrot (chopped)
  • A handful of beans (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (finely chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons chana dal (split chickpeas)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • A few curry leaves
  • 50 ml oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare the seasoning:

Heat 50 ml oil in a pan. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add the chopped onions, 4 green chilies, 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger, 4 tablespoons chana dal, and a few curry leaves. Sauté until the onions turn golden.

Cook the vegetables:

Add the chopped tomato and sauté for 2 minutes. Then, add the chopped carrot and beans (about 1 cup combined) and sauté well.

Add water and cook:

Pour in ½ tumbler (about 100 ml) of water and cook until the vegetables are tender. Once done, add 500 ml of water and salt to taste. Bring it to a boil.

Add rava:

Once the water starts boiling, gradually add 250g of rava, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the rava is soft and fully cooked.
