Method
  1. In a pan, heat oil and add jeera and mustard

  10. Turn off heat, pour just boiled water slowly into the rava mixture
  11. Allow water to get absorbed
  12. Add ghee on top and cover and cook for further 3-4 minutes
  13. Let it sit for 5 more minutes
  14. Serve hot with ghee on top or some curd/yogurt on the side
Notes
Pouring water to rava mixture ensures you will never get lumps, adding rava slowly to water is a time-consuming process

For softer consistency, I add ½ Cup extra water, you can stick to 1:2 ratio for a more bloomed upma consistency

If you have unroasted rava, add little ghee (1/2 Tbsp frou about ½ Kg rava) and slowly roast it at low temperatures till fragrant and goldem. Allow it to cool and store in an air-tight container

You can skip vegetables and turmeric and make a plain upma, reduce water slightly, rest of the process remains the same
