rice rava upma recipe /arisi upma /marudhuskitchen

Either for dinner or for breakfast this arisi upma is an excellent alternative that breaks the routine menu lists. Its very simple straight forward tiffin to make and its very comforting. Its exciting that we don’t need onions and garlic but some add onions and do even some add veggies. I have added mor milagai but you can skip and add red chillies alone. Instead of toor dal you can use bengal gram dal. Next needed ingredient is the coconut oil which should not be missed at least for me. If not you can make this rice rava upma recipe

with ordinary oil also but you will definitely miss the main flavour of the whole dish. I got this recipe from a brahmin friend and thank u my dear for this simple yet outstanding breakfast recipe. Grated coconut is a great alternative for the onions in this arisi upma recipe which makes it more tasty and flavourful. The best paired side dish for this rice rava upma recipe is kathrikkai gothsu. Even ordinary coconut chutney will be divine as an option. Do try this easy popular breakfast item for sure.

Notes

If you are not soaking the rice you can simply grind it and do the process but you may have to add more water to cook.
Adding mor milagai is optional.
Don’t grind rice finely it should be coarse only.
I prefer only coconut oil, you may use any other oil.
