I have tried to prepare it that way but not succeeded yet. I will keep trying anyway and will post it once I get it right.
Here is the thing about this upma recipe. This one does not taste like the normal plain upma at all. Many people hate upma so I want to turn them and I am sure this awesome recipe will impress those upma haters too.
Do try this recipe and let me know if I was able to turn you into an upma fan like me!! :P :)

In a pan, add 1/2 tbsp of oil and wait till it gets hot. Add Rava and roast till a sweet aroma starts filling up and the colour of rava turns slightly brown. Keep the roasted rava aside.
In the same pan, add the rest of the oil and the ingredients listed under "To Temper" and fry for 2 minutes. Add onion, Ginger garlic paste and green chillies and fry till it gets transparent.
Add water.
Add salt, chilli powder, rasam powder and lemon juice and mix.
Bring the mixture to boil.
Simmer the flame and sprinkle Rava as you stir it slowly.
Close the lid and cook for 10 - 15 minutes under low flame.
Stir every 3 minutes so that it will not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or just coffee.
- You can also add Urad dal and chana dal if you like it the plain upma way.
- You can use any kind of Rava.
- If you like it more spicy, you can add green chillies or increase the quantity of chilli powder.
- Also, you can add any other veggies if you want like carrot, capsicum, peas or beans
