Take a pan and put oil in it. First, fry peanuts till golden brown and take them out in a plate.
Secondly, fry cashews till golden brown and take them out in a separate plate.
After that, in the same oil add Rayi (Mustard Seeds). When seeds crackle, add urad dal and curry leaves. Saute for 1 minute so that the urad dal seeds turn golden brown.
Now, add chopped green chillies. Also, you can skip it if you are preparing it for kids. Saute on low flame for few seconds.
Add chopped onions on medium flame till it becomes translucent.
Now, add other vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, potatoes etc.) or whatever you want.
Finally, add roasted rava and salt to taste. Mix gently.
The last step is to add water. If you add 1 cup of rava, you need to add 3 cups of boiled water.
So, boil 3 cups of water in a separate pan and add to the pan with rava mixture. Mix well.
Stir continuously because to avoid lump formation. 2 minutes of continuous stirring and your Upma is ready to serve.
Finally, add fried cashews and peanuts.
For serving, fill the upma in a round bowl and demould in a plate. Serve hot with slices of lemon.
It tastes awesome when served with Green chutney. I, being a Punjabi love Upma with spicy tangy chutney.
