Upma is a famous breakfast. Most of the people prefers it because digestion is very easy and easy to prepare with the ingredients available at your kitchen. All you need is Suji(Upma ravva). Today I am going to prepare with less ingredients. Soon I will post a rich upma which is also called Upma kitchidi with all vegetables.

Lemon juice- 1 tsp(Optional)

Tomato- 1 medium

Water- 3 cups

Ginger- 1tsp (grated)

Preparations:

1. Wash and chop the green chilli, cilantro, onion, curry leaves, tomato and keep a side.

2. Grate the ginger.

3. Measure suji and water and keep separately.

Method:

6. Meanwhile in other bowl, heat the measured water and let it come to boiling ponit.

7. Once ravva is roasted, add boiled water little by little to it and keep stirring well in other hand, becareful it will form lumps if u add water all at once.

8. Mix well, add watre or oil, or salt if required and let it cook well. Keep stirring in between.

9. Check the consistency of upma, once its done, add lemon juice, chopped cilantro to it and mix well.
