Arisi Upma (Rice Upma)



Hello friends,
Greetings from India! I managed to post this recipe during my vacation. I will try to post more. Arisi Upma is a tiffin item made by cooking Rice and Dal with a few spices. It's a regular in our family cause we South Indians are fond of rice :)

Serves 2

Ingredients:
Dry grind to a coarse mixture:
Raw Rice - 3/4 cup
Thur Dal - 2 tbsp
Red Chillies - 2
Jeera- 1/2 tsp

Seasonings:
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Jeera- 1/2 tsp
Urud Dal - 1 tsp
Channa Dal - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - a few
Hing - 1/4 tsp
Whole Pepper - 1/4 tsp
Ginger - 1/4 tsp grated

Other Ingredients:
Coconut Oil - 2 tbsp
Cooking oil - 2 tbsp
Salt
Water - 21/4 cups

Method:
Heat both coconut and cooking oil. 
Season with ingredients mentioned above.
When mustard seeds crackle and dals turn golden brown, add water and bring it to a boil.
Add roughly ground rice and dal mixture and salt.
Simmer and close the lid and cook till rice is done (12-15 minutes).
Serve with chutney or sambar. 

Notes:
Do not grind the rice too much. Grind it just enough to break into small pieces.
When Upma is warm, you may shape it into oval balls and serve as kozhakattai.
