Rice Rava Upma

Another post to another event. Divya is hosting this month's Tried and Tasted.



Tried and Tasted was originally started by Zlamushka. Every month, the host chooses one blog and the participant has to cook any recipe from the blog to enter.

Divya has chosen Raaga for this month. I was amazed how simple yet tasty her recipes seemed. And I wasn't disappointed when I chose her Arisi Upma. It was extremely simple but very tasty.

I like onions in my upma. So here's my version of the recipe (Its the same. I just added onions)


Ingredients
1.5 cups rice rava /idli rava
3.5 cups of water
1 onion - chopped
