Rava Kichadi – Sooji khichdi – Semolina Khichidi – Easy South Indian Tiffin

Hi Everyone,

Rava Kichadi – Sooji Kichadi is an upgraded tangy version of rava upma cooked from sooji, onions and veggies and usually served as breakfast, dinner or mid-evening tiffin. It’s such a quick recipe and would be tasty too. When guests suddenly surprise us and there is no much time left, we can prepare this rava kichadi in a jiffy and pair it up with coconut chutney. As we add cashews, ghee and almonds, this would not be just a plain boring upma anymore. 🙂

I like this Rava kichadi prepared in Saravana Bhavan hotel. They add ghee and cashews lavishly that every spoon we take would have a few cashews. 😀 This would sure add up the taste and our weight. 😀 But, it’s not that tough a recipe. 🙂 This is a fail-proof recipe that any novice cook can prepare without making any mess. Do try out this bachelor recipe and let me know how it comes out. 😐

Rava Kichadi Recipe – Sooji Khichdi Recipe – Semolina Kichidi Recipe – Rava Upma – HomeMaking Delight

In south India, most people would usually make only upma varieties and complain that it’s boring. We can prepare Upma from Rava (Sooji), Semiya upma (vermicelli), Broken wheat rava, broken rice(Rice upma), Idlies (Idly upma), etc. Basically, Kichadi is also a upma minus the boring component. We add loads of veggies, tomato and lemon juice to bring in a tangy taste to the upma and lavishly add cashews and ghee to give it a rich taste and call that a kichidi. 🙂 Kichadi can be paired up with Sambhar and/or coconut chutney or peanut chutney. Over to Rava Kichadi Recipe from HomeMaking-Delight with step by step photos..

Now, add chopped green chillies and grated ginger and saute for a minute. Add chopped tomato and cook well until it turns mushy.

Simmer the stove and add rava little by little with constant stirring. Take care not to form any lumps. Cook for a minute and switch the flame off. Add ghee lavishly to the kichadi and close it with a lid. Fry a few cashews and almond in ghee and add that along with the ghee to Rava Kichadi. 🙂

Notes:

Adding more ghee and cashews would give a rich restaurant-like taste to our Rava Kichadi. You can skip, if you don’t like.
You can skip adding lemon juice, if you are not a big fan of lemon juice or if your tomatoes are already tangy enough.
