Ingredients

  • ½ cup Rava/Sooji/Semolina
  • ½ a shredded carrot
  • 1 no medium sized onion, chopped
  • 1 no medium tomato, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste

Tempering

  • 1 tablespoon ghee/oil divided
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds/kadugu
  • 2 nos green chilies, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon hing/asafoetida
  • a sprig of curry leaf, torn into pieces

Instructions

  • In a pan, dry roast sooji/rava until golden brown. I do this, even if i m using roasted rava/sooji.
  • Remove the roasted sooji onto a plate. In the same pan, heat oil, splutter mustard seeds, next add chopped green chilies, hing and curry leaves. Saute for a minute.
  • Now add chopped onions and saute until they turn translucent. Now add grated carrots and tomatoes.
  • Add turmeric powder and saute for a minute. Add 1 & ¾ cup of water and salt to this and let it boil.
  • Once it comes to a rolling boil, reduce the flame and add the roasted sooji to it and mix well.
  • Immediately it will start absorbing all the liquid, cover with a lid and cook until done. It takes around 8-10 minutes
  • Once done, remove the cover, fluff it up well. Add a generous drizzle of ghee and coriander leaves. Serve it warm or pack  for your kiddo's lunch box.
