   Ingredients needed

   Semolina/ravai/sooji -1 cup
   Onion – 1
   Green chilli – 2 finely chopped
   Ginger – 1 inch piece finely chopped
   Carrot – 1 medium size
   Capsicum – 1/2
   Potato (small) – 1
   Fresh/frozen Peas -10-15
   Tomato – 1 small (optional)
   Beans – 4-5
   Ghee – 1/2 tsp
   Salt needed

  For the seasoning

   Oil – 2 1/2 tbsp
   Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
   Urad dal – 1 tsp
   Red chillies – 1-2
   Asafoetida – a pinch
   Curry leaves – a sprig

Preparation


Dry roast sooji until hot to touch. Since I had bought double roasted sooji, I skipped this step.

Chop all the vegetables finely and keep it aside.

Method


Heat oil in a pan/kadai, add mustard seeds, when it sizzles, add urad dal, red chillies, asafoetida and curry leaves.

When urad dal turns golden brown, add finely chopped onions and sauté till it becomes transparent.

Add ginger, green chillies and sauté a for a few more minutes.


Add all the vegetables and cook covered for 2-3 minutes. (Do not over cook).


Add 2 cups of water, needed salt and bring it to boil. When water starts boiling, add ½ tsp of ghee. Taste the water to check for salt, if it is slightly salty, it will be perfect once we add rava.


Reduce the heat to low, add the sooji/rava gradually with one hand and stir continuously with the other hand, so that it does not form lumps.


Cover and cook on low heat. Once the water is absorbed, mix well and cook covered on low heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring in between.
