ARISI UPMA

INGREDIENTS:

Raw rice - 1 cup
Pepper - 1/2 tsp.
Toor dhal - 1 handful
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp.
Urad dhal - 1 tsp.
Chenna dhal (optional) - 1 tsp.
Dry red chillies - 2 or 3
Curry leaves - few
Water 21/2 cups
Hing
Salt - as per taste

METHOD:

Soak together raw rice, toor dhal and pepper in water for 15 minutes. Drain the water completely and spread it on a clean cloth and pat it dry for 10 minutes. Grind it coarsely.


In a pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, urad dhal, chillies, hing and curry leaves. When golden brown, add water and salt. Allow it to boil. Add the coarsely powdered rice, pepper and dhal into it and mix well. Transfer it to a vessel and pressure cook for 3 whistles. Serve hot with an excellent combo of brinjal gothsu.

  1. I do the pounding without soaking.Does soaking make a difference? the gothsu to go with this is equally relishing.Both posts are very handy.

  2. Lata, Can make it without soaking also. If soaked the colour will be white and the upma will be little more soft.

  7. Arisi upma and gothsu are one inseparable combo. My Mom makes arisi upma without adding dhal but grandma adds dhal to it and I like both versions :-)
