- Stir in tomatoes and add water,salt.The water:rava ratio changes with the brand.I use 2 cups water for 1 cup rava.
- When it boils add the veggies and wheat rawa and keep stirring.
- When it is cooked and the water is all absorbed remove from heat.
- If you like a tangy upma ,add the juice of half a lime after removing it from heat.
- Serve hot with sambar / coconut chutney.
