Hi Nalabaagam,

Certainly, godhumai rava is good for health and easily digestible, as far as I know. I saw many people feeding godhumai rava upma to kids too! My mother makes the upma just like we do rava upma w/w.o vegetables.

Apart from the above, one more recipe for you-

godhumai rava poriyal

godhumai rava 1 cup
mixed vegetables like carrot, beans, capsicum(take half of the capsicum) 1 cup together
salt, oil

Soak rava in water for some time. Drain them completely.

In a vanali, add 5 cups of water, salt and let it boil. Once it is boiled well, add the rava and the mixed vegetables. When they are three fourth cooked, switch off and drain the water.

Seasoning portion

ginger 2 tsps
onion 1
tomato 1/2
green chillies 1 or 2
salt, oil

Cut ginger, onion, green chillies,capsicum, tomato into fine pieces.

Heat oil, add ginger, chillies, onion, capsicum, tomato stir well. Add salt and mix well; add godhumai rava with vegetable mixture. Mix well and cook for some time.

Poriyal is ready to serve.
............................

Recently, saw one recipe in SUN TV called godhumai rava usili. Will post it under SUN TV recipes collection thread. If you want, pls check it out.

Bye.

Hi R,
I also saw the gothumai usili recipe and tried got good results!Initially i don't like upma varieties thatmuch,but this one tasted really good!
By posting SUN TV recipies (on the other thread )you are doing a great job!!!

That is so nice of you, Raathi. I am yet to try that recipe. Even with idly(idly pieces) you can try that kind of usili which I saw in a magazine a long time back.

Hi,
Any vegetable pakoda/fritters can take the place of an appetizer. ex. cauliflower/eggplant/raw banana/onion pakodas go well with any indian meal south indian/north indian.

If u have enough time u can make potato bonda or samosa.

If u r short of time u can make 1 or 2 sweets and 1 or 2 fried snacks of murruku variety in advance ie couple of days ahead of the dinner party.

Hi Mrs.Mano or anyone,

Pls suggest me on cooking rice in microwave. Use to follow sensing method incl. soaking and adding 3 1/2 cups of water for sona masoori rice, but, still, it is not coming soft (as kids eat)just like we do in cooker.

We are going on a long trip, so, need to try at home for my 2 yrs old daughter as an experiment.

If I want to cook moong dal also with the rice, what is the time limit?

Quite urgent..so, respond ASAP.

Thanks to you all in advance.
