Rava Upma is a traditional South Indian breakfast dish made from semolina (rava/sooji) roasted to a nutty aroma, then cooked with sautéed onions, green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves in ghee or oil. It’s often flavored with mustard seeds, cumin, and a hint of asafoetida, then simmered with hot water until soft and fluffy. Vegetables like carrots, peas, and beans can be added for extra nutrition, and it’s typically garnished with fresh coriander and roasted cashews. Light yet satisfying, Rava Upma is enjoyed hot, often served with coconut chutney, pickle, or a sprinkle of sugar for a sweet contrast.
