Rawa Kichadi
Vegetables – 6 Beans, 1 small carrot, 1 onion (optional), shelled green peas – 1/4 cup
green chillies – 1
Cut the vegetables into fine pieces. Take 1 cup of rawa and lightly roast without oil to make it crisp. Pour 3 teaspoons of oil in a fry pan and add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds.When it splatters, add 1 tsp urud dal, 1 teaspoon gram dal, 2 sprigs curry leaves and chopped green chilli and roast lightly. If onions are not used you may add a pinch of asafoetida. Add the onions and fry until they turn colorless. Now add the vegetables, salt and fry them until they turn soft Add the red chillie powder. Now add 3 cups of water and when it begins to boil add rawa and keep stirring till all the water is absorbed and it becomes thick (fully cooked).
Side dish – Sambar, Coconut chutney or any other pickle
->Instead of adding Red Chilli powder,the green chillies can be increased.
->Also Turmeric powder can be added incase you do not prefer to have it in white color
u can add little bit of ginger-garlic paste while frying the vegetables.it gives a very good flavour to the recipe.
Rawa can be added directly after the vegetables are cooked and if hot water is added it will not form lumps. We need not keep stirring just reduce the flame to sim and cover it with a plate after 3 minutes the kichidi will be ready.
