Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rava (semolina)
- 2.5 cups Water
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 unit Green chili, slit
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 1 cup Mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, bell peppers), finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad dal
- 1 teaspoon Chana dal
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Cashew nuts, broken
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat a pan on medium flame and add the gluten-free rava. Dry roast it for 5-6 minutes until it turns aromatic and slightly changes in color. Transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
In the same pan, add ghee or oil. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add urad dal, chana dal, and cashew nuts. Sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add curry leaves, chopped onions, green chili, and ginger. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
Stir in the mixed vegetables and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Add water and salt to the pan. Increase the heat to bring it to a boil.
Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and gradually add the roasted gluten-free rava while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Cover and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until the rava absorbs all the water and is cooked through.
Turn off the heat, add lemon juice and mix well.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
