Wheat Rava Upma Recipe | Healthy Godhumai Rava Upma with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Preparing morning breakfast recipes has always been challenging, especially for working couples. The expectation is to have something simple, easy, healthy with basic ingredients to prepare it. One such easy and simple morning breakfast recipe is wheat rava upma which has the same texture and steps to prepare, yet has its unique taste.
I have shown different types of upma recipes in my blog, including both traditional and unconventional ingredients. However, I have to admit, preparing the wheat rava upma using wheat rava is the easiest and simplest upma ever. The biggest advantage of this recipe is its ingredients. Unlike the traditional semolina, it does not get sticky and you do not have to take extra precautions while mixing and preparing the upma. In addition, if you are looking for something new or bored with the same Bombay rava-based upma, then I would heavily recommend this recipe. It can take any type of finely chopped vegetables to make it a pulao-inspired upma. Moreover, with the addition of vegetables, it can be even used for lunch, dinner, and for tiffin boxes.
Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variations to the wheat rava Upma recipe. Firstly, in this recipe, I have used basic vegetables with basic spices to make the Upma interesting and tasty. Adding vegetables is not mandatory and you can skip or elaborate it as per your choice. Secondly, once the Upma is cooked, allow it to rest for 5-8 mins. This resting helps to dry out all moisture and also makes it nonsticky. Lastly, once the Upma is prepared, you can serve it with additional toppings like garlic mixture, Khara Boondi, or even crushed chips. This can be addictive and unhealthy and hence avoid it if possible.
