How to Prepare

  1. Soak green peas atleast for 4-6 hrs. Then Pressure cook it and keep it aside (If you are not using frozen peas). If you are using frozen peas , you can directly add it with other vegetables. 
  2. Dry roast semolina, if you are not using roasted one. Keep it aside
  3. Cut carrot and potato into small pieces. Cut  onion into small slices.
  4. Cook carrot, potato, 1/2 of ginger, 1/2 of chilli, and 1/2  of onion in a pressure cooker with salt and less water. (If you need crunchy vegetables, no need to pressure cook it.)
  5. In a big wok, heat oil and temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table. Fry for a minute and then add chopped tomato, remaining onion, green chillies, ginger and fry until onion turns transparent. 
  6. Then add turmeric powder. Stir for few seconds. Then add ghee and stir for few seconds. If you didn't cook the vegetables. Add it now. Saute the vegetables for few minutes. Then add water and salt. Allow to boil
  7. If you cooked the vegetables before, when it starts boiling,reduce the flame and add the cooked vegetables and green peas. Stir well. Then add roasted rava. while adding rava, stir it well to avoid lumps. 
  8. Mix well, wait until the water gets absorbed by the rava. Once it gets thick, cook covered in low flame for 8-10 minutes. Give it a mix. 
  9. Serve hot with chutney and sambar or even with pickle....
