Roast the rava dry in a pan. Add salt and let it cool.
Mix the coconut scrapings with the sugar.
When the rava is cool, take some water and sprinkle
Over rava occationally and rub so that it becomes
Like crumbs. Every time you sprinkle about 1 tbs of water
Otherwise it would have big lumps.
When it looks like breadcrumbs, stop the process.

Edited by Kavitha Ravi - 15 years agoA gentleman from our IF by the name of Mr. Baskaran sent me a pm requesting for rava uppuma.
I am posting the recipe and a picture of uthir-uthir
uppuma.
Rava Uppuma
Ingredients:
1 cup rava roasted nicely with 1 tbs of ghee
1 inch ginger chopped
1 onion chopped
3 green chillies chopped
Salt to taste
2 cups of water
To temper:
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
1 tsp channa dal
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tbs ghee or oil
Lemon juice to taste optional
Method:
Heat a wok with ghee or oil. Add in the mustard seeds
Urad dal, channa dal, and curry leaves.
Saut nicely. Now add in the onions , ginger and green chillies.
Stir nicely , when the onions are a little brown add in 2 cups
Of water and salt. Let the mixture boil.
When it boils, slow the fire and add the rava little by little
Stirring all the time. See that no lumps are formed.
Stir nicely and see that the rava is cooked.
Remove from stove, sprinkle little lime juice if you like.
Serve with kara chutney
NOTE: If you want uthir- uthir uppuma, use only 1 cup of water for1 cup of rava
As soon as you mix everything, keep the flame very very small.
Cover the wok and let it cook in its steam for a while. Then remove
The cover and break up the lumps.
Another way is to add chopped carrot, capsicum, green peas and any
Vege of your choice to make vegetable uppuma. You can garnish with coriander leaves.
There is another version called masala uppuma.
Picture of uthir-uthir uppuma.
I normally serve the soft uppuma with sambar or kara chutney. The uthir-uthir uppuma with sugar, banana or with sambal.
