Arisi Upma

For actual recipe of Arisi Upma, follow the recipe of Arisi Upma Kozhakkatai till the step where you stir the rava and get ready to steam. This one is my variation to use left over Kozhakkatai. I do not like the Arisi Upma before the steaming process as it has a sticky consistency. Plus I get to add vegetables into it.

Ingredients

Arisi Upma Kozhakkatai 20 (or whatever you have left)

Onion 1 finely chopped

Mixed vegetables 2-3 cups (microwaved and ready)

Turmeric 1/2 tsp

Idli Molaga Podi 1 tbsp. (or any spice of you choice like chilli powder or garam masala)

Oil and Salt to taste

Method of Preparation

1. Cook the Kozhakkatai as in the recipe.

2. Heat some oil in the pan. No need to add any thing for tempering as everything is present in the kozhakkatai itself. Add the onions and turmeric powder.

3. Once slightly browned, add the vegetables and saute for a for few more minutes. Add enough salt and idli powder. Remember that the Kozhakkatai already has salt in it. So does the idli powder.

4. Crumble the Kozhakkatai. Add to the vegetables and stir. Switch off. Upma is ready to be served.
