Arisi upma is very simple and easy recipe. Normally people made in a brass vessel. My grandma has Vengalam vessel which is very heavier than the brass. I made this upma in pressure cooker since I don't have brass vessel. Try this easy recipe and enjoy this different upma.
INGREDIENTS:
Raw rice broken
Kurunai arisi - 1 cup
Water - 4 cups
Grated coconut - 3 tsp
Coconut oil - 1/2 tsp
Salt - as needed
To powder:
Toor dhal - 3 tsp
Pepper - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds / Jeera - 1 1/2 tsp
To temper:
Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Channa dhal - 1 tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Red chillies - 5
Curry leaves - few
Asafoetida - a generous pinch
HOW TO MAKE:
In a blender / mixie add the ingredients "to powder" column and make a coarse powder. The powder should not be very fine. Just give a two gentle stroke and keep aside.
In a bowl or a plate mix the broken rice and coarse grounded powder. Mix well and keep it ready.
Heat oil in a pressure cooker, splutter mustard seeds, urad dhal, channa dhal and red chillies. Fry it until it turn into golden brown and add curry leaves and asafoetida. Add 4 cups of water and allow to boil. Add needed salt.
When it starts boiling add the broken rice mixture slowly and mix well. Let the mixture get half cooked.
Add grated coconut on the top and pressure cook it and allow 2 whistles. Once the steam released mix well and serve with sambar and any chutney.
TIPS:
Broken rice / Kurunai arisi is available in all the grocery store.
Add 4 cups of water as 1:4. This is the perfect measured water and adding more water will result mushy upma.
