There are n number of variants to this easy to make delicasy and in this page I describe my way of preparing it.
Ingredients:
2 cups Rava
1" Ginger, cut into bits
7 Nos Green chillies, bits
1/2 Lemon, small
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1 tsp Urad dal
1 tsp Channa dal
1-2 Red Chilli
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Ghee
6 tsp Oil
few Curry leaves
Few stalks Coriander leaves
6-8 nos Cashew nuts, in bits
1/2 tsp Ghram masala powder
Making:
Heat a pan, saute the rava in 2 tsp ghee till it turns light brown. remove from pan and keep aside.
Next, heat the pan, pour oil, fry cashew bits to medium brown, remove. Now splutter mustard seeds with urad dal, red chillies, ginger bits and split green chillies. Add 4 cups of water to this mix, 2 tsp salt and allow it to boil. Now slowly drop sauted rava, stirring briskly so as not to make lumps. When the contents reach a smooth consistency, stop the stove and cover the pan with lid. Drop the previously roasted cashew bits, gharam masala, curry leaves, mix well and top the kichadi with coriander leaves and a dash of lemon juice.
