Brown Rice Upuma

Tried rice upma with brown rice.  The taste was so good and different from the white rice.  As I thought this is a healthy option to white rice, I tried this. It came out well.  Also the dal in it adds protein to the dish.

Ingredients

Brown Rice.       -   1 cup
Moong/tur  dal.  -   2 tsp to 3 tsp
Red chilies.         -   1
Green chilies.      -   2
Asafietida.           -   1/4 tsp or small piece
Coconut oil.         -   2 tsp
Scrapped coconut-   3 tbsp (optional)
Split Urad dal.     -   3/4 tsp
Channa dal.         -   1/2 tsp
Curry leaves.       -   6 to 8
Ginger.                 -  1/2 inch
Salt to taste

1.   Wash brown rice and dal two times drain completely and spread it on a clean towel and allow it to dry under the fan for 1/2 hour.

2.   After rice and dal dries grind it to a coarse powder in a mixie jar.   Sieve the flour and take only the rava.

3.   In a rice cooker add the oil and when the oil is hot add channa dal, urad dal, red chilies and asafietida sauté till the dals become golden brown colour.  Now add green chilies and curry leaves mix it.  Add 3 cups of water and required salt and scrapped coconut to it.  Bring it to boil then add the rice and dal rava pouring it slowly to the water mixture and simultaneously stirring it to avoid any formation of lumps.   Close the lid of the cooker and put the weight.  Reduce the flame to low and leave it for 8 to 10 mts.  Then switch off the flame.   Let the pressure release naturally.   Open the lid and mix it.
