Green Gram Rice Upma – Paasi Payaru Recipe

Chitra

Nov 22, 2011

I made this upma for dinner yesterday. Its a simple one pot meal. It tastes best with sambar.I add equal amount of rice and green gram dal ( Pacha Payaru/Paasi pauaru in Tamil) in this upma. So its very filling and rich in protein. We wanted little mushy. So I added more water.But if u add the quantity of water given below, u’ll get the rice grains separate and fluffy. Please use the water according to your choice.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup – 200ml

Steamed rice or Raw rice – 1/2 cup
Green gram / Pacha payaru – 1/2 cup
Water – 1- 1.25 cups
Salt – As needed

To temper

Cooking oil – 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Urad dal – 1/2 tsp
Channa dal – 1/2tsp
Green chilly – 2 no (slit into two)
Curry leaves – A few
Ginger- 1 inch (cut into pieces)
Hing / Asafetida – 3-4 generous pinches

METHOD

Heat a kadai and dry roast the rice till it slightly puffs up.
In the same kadai add a tsp of oil and roast the green gram until nice aroma arises.It may take 5-8 mins.
Now heat 1 tbsp of oil and temper the items given above in the same order.
Then add the roasted rice and dal. Add the required water and salt .Transfer everything into a pressure cooker.
Add a drop of oil and a pinch of hing .Pressure cook for one whistle.

Delicious upma is ready to serve. I served with AAB sambhar.

Adding dhal to the upma makes it more filling and protein rich. Nice idea to balance the nutrition.

My mum usually makes this rice and green gram combo as "Kanji" its more like a soup. Upma is a great variation, more flavourful too.I'd love to try this.
