    Ingredients:
    1 cup rice rava
    5 green chillies sliced
    1 tsp crushed pepper corns
    2 tbs fresh coconut (optional )
    2 tbs green peas ( optional) I did not use
    1 tbs chopped coriander leaves
    2 ½ cups water
    2 tbs oil or ghee
    Salt to taste

    For seasonings:
    ½ tsp mustard seeds
    1 tsp urad dal 2 tsp
    1 tsp cumin seeds
    2 tsp bengal gram dal
    1 pinch of asafotida
    1 sprig curry leaves
    1 tbs cashew nuts (optional )
    1 dried red chillie cut into small pieces.

    Method:
    Heat a wok, and pour in the oil or ghee.
    Add in the seasonings one by one and fry till the dals
    Turn slightly brown. adAdd in the sliced chillies .
    Stir for a moment, add in the water, salt and pepper corns.
    You can add in the green peas now if you are using.
    Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and add in the rava little by little
    While stirring it slowly. Stir well so that all the spices
    Have mixed well. Close with a lid and let it cook for a minute
    On a very, very slow flame. Stir now and then cook till all the
    Water is absorbed. Now add in the fresh coconut and stir well.
    Remove from the stove and garnish with coriander leaves.
    Serve with the chutney of your choice.
    I have tomato thokku with the uppuma.
