Wheat Rava Vegetable Upma...a different version


This is a different preparation compared to the regular upma. The flavor comes from the curd and milk added and everything blends to a tasty and complete dish loaded with vegetables. I have also added sliced garlic since we like that taste.  It can be omitted if preferred.

Ingredients:
1. Wheat rava, roasted, 1 cup.
2. Chopped onion, 1 cup.
3. Chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup.
4. Green chilies, slit into two, 2. (or more depending upon the preferred spice level)
5. Garlic, 2, sliced.
6. Finely chopped ginger, 1/2 teaspoon.
7. Curry leaves, a handful.
8. Chopped vegetables like carrots, green beans, peas, 1 cup.
9. Curd, 1/2 cup.
10. Milk, 1/2 cup.
11. Mustard seeds, 1/2 teaspoon.
12. Urad dal, 1/2  teaspoon.
13. Channa dal, 1/2 teaspoon.
14. Salt as per taste.

Preparation:
Heat a pan with a tablespoon of oil. Add the mustard seeds and let it splutter once its hot. Then add the urad dal and channa dal and fry for a few seconds. Add the chopped onions and curry leaves now and saute until translucent. Now add the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, green chilies,  salt, and chopped vegetables and keep sauteeing until everything is well blended.  Now add the whisked curd, milk, and 3 cups of water, mix well and let it come to a boil. Add the wheat rava, mix well, and cook closed under low flame for 15 minutes. Mix well and turn off the stove.
