Arisi (Rice) Upma

Arisi Upma is one of my favourite dish made by my Husbands Granny. Hence I decided to share the recipe with my friends :)

*This serving is for 3 people.

Ingredients: Rice (preferably raw rice)- 1.5 Cup, Arhar daal - 3/4 Cup, Black Pepper - 10-12 pcs, Green Chilly - 3, Red Chilly - 1 pc, Mustard - 1 tsp, Hing (powdered) - 2 pinches, Oil - 2 tbsp, Curry leaves - 10 leaves, Urad dal - 1 tbsp, salt to taste.

Preparation: Mix the Rice, Arhar dal & Black Pepper in a Mixie jar and coarse grind without any water. Note that you should not wash the rice & dal.  Keep this aside.
Take a kadai and heat oil in it. Add the urad dal, mustard seeds, red chilli & hing and allow the mustard seeds to crackle. Then add curry leaves & green chillies and 5 glasses of water. Add the salt and bring the water to boil. Now add the coarse grinded rice n dal to this and allow to cook. Once the mixture thickens, transfer the contents to a vessel and cook it in the pressure cooker for 4 whistles.

Once the pressure is released, the Upma is ready to be served.

Serving Suggestions: This upma can be served with Chutney or plain Curd.
