Cracked Wheat Upma- Dalia (Broken Wheat) Upma Recipe

February 19, 2012 by PadhuSankar 34 Comments

Cracked Wheat is known as “gothumai rava” or “samba ravai” in Tamil and “dalia” in Hindi. It is an excellent source of fiber and is also low in fat. Preparing upma with dalia/samba gothumai rava is a great way to include it in our diet. It is not only healthy but also makes a filling breakfast. I have added lot of vegetables to make it more nutritious and delicious. It is much healthier than rava upma. Today we will learn how to make samba gothumai rava vegetable upma following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.

When urad dal turns golden brown, add finely chopped green chillies, ginger and onion.

Saute until onions turn transparent. Then add all the vegetables and saute for 2-3 minutes on low heat.

 

Then add 2 tbsp of water and cook covered.

Once the water evaporates, add 1 cup + another 2 tbsp of water (for the vegetables) and needed salt. Taste the water to check for salt. The water should be slightly salty, once we add the dalia, it will be perfect.

When water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, add cracked wheat with one hand and stir with your other hand.

 

Mix well and cook covered on low heat.

Stir in between for even cooking. Once all the water has evaporated, cook covered for another 2 minutes.

 

Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

 

gothumai rava upma with vegetables

 

Serve cracked wheat upma piping hot with sambar or chutney.

 

Note – The water measurement for cracked wheat upma is 1:2 – For 1/2 cup cracked wheat, we add 1 cup of water but as we have added lot of vegetables, I have added 1/4 cup (2 tbsp + 2 tbsp) more water.

 

To make it clear – For 1 cup cracked wheat – 2 cups water + 1/2 cup more water for vegetables.

 

You may add vegetable like cauliflower, broccoli, peas, sweet corn etc.

Suppose, if the cracked wheat does not get cooked with the above water measurement, you may sprinkle more water and cook until the cracked wheat becomes soft.

    Hi! Couldn't help but comment! Just made it and had it now. Absolutely delish! Didn't have coriander leaves or curry patta and garnished with a little ghee and it was so good. Have been looking for oats recipes and this hits the nail straight! Thank you!

    Dear padhu, I have confusion with Godhumai Rawa n Samba Godhumai.

    Samba Godhumai is half broken wheat and needs more water right, while Godhumai Rawa needs comparatively less water.

    Also in super market s different brands hv different colors n size of Rawa. Water measurements is very confusing for me, for both up pumas.

    Godhumai Rawa
    Samba Godhumai

    Also we can make Rawa pongal with Samba Godhumai n Godhumai Rawa.

    I want water measurements for all these please.

      To my knowledge both are the same. Maybe the size differs. You can add water in the ratio 1 :2 – For 1 cup cracked wheat, add 2 cups of water. If you feel it is not cooked, sprinkle water and cook covered until soft.
