My husband is a great fan of thengai thogayal and arise upma combination. Hence I was pondering the internet for a nice recipe and came across the below one. The upma was so tasty and yummy that I became an instant fan :-)
Serves 2
Ingredients:
Dry grind to a coarse mixture:
Raw Rice - 3/4 cup
Thur Dal - 2 tbsp
Red Chillies - 2
Jeera- 1/2 tsp
Seasoning:
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Jeera- 1/2 tsp
Urud Dal - 1 tsp
Channa Dal - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - a few
Hing - 1/4 tsp
Whole Pepper - 1/4 tsp
Ginger - 1/4 tsp grated
Other Ingredients:
Coconut Oil - 2 tbsp
Cooking oil - 2 tbsp
Salt
Water - 21/4 cups
Method:
Heat both coconut and cooking oil.
Season with ingredients mentioned above.
When mustard seeds crackle and dals turn golden brown, add water and bring it to a boil.
Add roughly ground rice and dal mixture and salt.
Simmer and close the lid and cook till rice is done (12-15 minutes).
Serve with chutney or sambar.
Notes:
Do not grind the rice too much. Grind it just enough to break into small pieces.
When Upma is warm, you may shape it into oval balls and serve as kozhakattai.
Enjoy the Arisi upma to your heart's content. We had it with vendekaai morkozhambu and thengaai thogayal. Loved it!!!
