Tamil Recipe Rava Kichadi Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
I got this recipe from my friend Megha.We used to talk more about food.She was telling me about this masala kichadi and gave me some to taste. I loved it a lot. I immediately noted down the recipe to try in my kitchen. Basically i am not a upma person Smile with tongue out..I don’t like rava based recipes but Sen loves it like anything. Just for him , i started trying varieties of rava recipes.Nowadays i too started liking it..This dish is the same as our usual rava kichadi and the only difference is the addition of masala like cinnamon , cloves and G&G paste.. Its a flavourful dish. It tasted great even after it cools down.I had the same for breakfast as well as lunch..The addition of oil & the water quantity gives the right consistency & taste... When u r bored of making our usual Rava kichadi , try this one. U’ll love it like me Smile .This kichadi has a mild masala smell which we both loved it ..Very soon i’ll post a No onion No garlic masala rava upma which i learnt from my neighbour ..

NOTE
Addition of oil and ghee gives a nice taste and flavour.So please add the above mentioned quantity to get a soft kichadi.
Here i have used less quantity of spices (cinnamon & cloves) which gives a mild masala smell. If u want to have more masala try adding 1/2 tsp of garam masala powder..
Water content may vary from 3-3.5 cups based on the consistency u like..

Addition of tomato , lemon juice & coriander leaves is a must..
