Rava Kichadi - Sooji Kichadi - Semolina Kichadi

Ahhh… Rava kichadi  my favorite!!! I can live eating only dat. I love kichadis either done with rava or semiya… but unfortunately TH hates it  . So I rarely make it for dinner. The ultimate taste of kichadi is ghee… it will melt in ur mouth …. And I can’t resist myself from eating and I had 4-5 spoons while taking photos itself... I have served it with Tamilnadu Style Coconut Chutney (Recipe coming soon) 

Preparation time: 5minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup Rava

5 cups of water

1 onion

1 tomato

2 green chillies

1tsp ginger-garlic paste

½ cup of veggies (carrots,French beans, green peas, potatoes)

1 pinch turmeric powder

Salt

1tbsp oil

1tsp ghee

To temper

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp urad dal

1tsp chana dal

Few curry leaves(optional)

1 clove

1 inch cinnamon stick

1 bayleaf

How to make it

• In a pan dry roast rava till light brown and keep aside.  

• I used roasted rava, still I have roasted it for my satisfaction. You can skip if u doesn’t want.

• In a kadai heat oil and ghee together. Ghee generally enhances the taste of kichadi. If u doesn’t want to use it, replace with oil.
• Temper with the items given. Fry straight-wise cut onions till transparent.
• Once done add ginger-garlic paste and green chillies. Stir well.

• Add tomatoes and cook for some time. Add the vegetables and fry well for 1-2mins.

• Add turmeric powder and salt. Add water and allow boiling.

• Add the roasted rava to the boiling water by constantly stirring with a ladle. Rava will generally form lumps when it is added with water. So keep stirring while adding.
• Cook till it becomes soft and water gets absorbed by rava. Cook on low flame. It took around 10 mins for me to cook.

• Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot with chutney of choice.
