White Upma / Rulav

This is a famous Konkani dish. In many houses it is prepared for breakfast during festivals. It is little different from Upma or Khara Bath, which involves lots of vegetables and hot spices. This dish is simple and easy to cook. It can be prepared for breakfast or as a evening snack. Usually prepared when guests arrive without prior notice as it takes less time. My dad loves this dish if only prepared by my aunt (Maavu) so while coming to Singapore I borrowed the recipe from her and today I am going to share it with you people.

NOTE :  
  • Number of green chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am using 5 as mine are not very spicy.
  • Optional - Can use coconut and cashew nuts for garnishing.
  • Better to use a non-stick pan or heavy bottomed pan.
  • I am using half oil and half ghee. If you want you can use any one.
  • Combination of oil and ghee enhances the taste.
  • Semolina / Rava takes only 5 minutes to cook.
HINT :
  • Tear the curry leaves with hands  while adding it as that will increase its flavor.
  • Use scissors to cut red chilies directly at the time of adding it by keeping it on top of the pan so that its seeds doesn't spread all over your kitchen.
  • The boiling water is added so that the semolina cooks quickly and does not get sticky if it is not fried properly.
