Couple of months ago, when I went shopping I came across a packet of Samba Godhuma and Bansi Rava. Now there is an eternal search to find out if both are the same or different. By the looks I can say both are not the same stuff. I have ever since planned to write a post on both the ingredients. Well that's for another day.

Meanwhile this easy and quick upma was made using Samba Godhuma Rava. It was to be a quick breakfast and I got this done in about 15 mins. The only time it takes if for the vegetables to get cooked. I was cooking only for my hubby dear and so decided that it can easily qualify for Bachelor dishes.

I know I seem to have used the word Samba Godhuma Rava and Bansi Rava so interchangeably. I will need to go change and update all of those posts. Funny part was, nobody has a proper explanation of what and from where these two is derived. Samba Godhuma is clear as it's a rava/semolina made from the Samba Wheat. I am not sure of the Bansi Rava. Will have to work on posting more details and educating myself on these two. I love Bansi Rava, especially the halwa that Amma used to make for me when I was with Konda. It used to taste yum. Now my another task is to check if I have posted that Bansi Rava Halwa. I remember somebody recently telling me that my forgetfulness is perils of posting so many! No way of keeping track of what I have posted. There are still so many everyday dishes I have not shared!

In the same pan, add oil and all the tempering ingredients. Saute well. Then add onions and saute till it turns pinkish.
