Ingredients:
1 cup Rice Rava(see notes)
5-6 light colored Green chillies,slit

2 tbsp Chana dal
1 tbsp Urad dal
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
2-3 tbsp Oil
Method:
- Boil 2 cups water with little salt,turmeric powder.Once it comes to a boil add rice rava and stir it well and let it cook for sometime until done.It takes 4-5 mins.Once it is done spread the cooked rice rava mixture on a wide plate until it is cooled down.
- Meanwhile heat oil in a pan and crackle mustard and cumin seeds.
- Add groundnuts and fry them until they turn crisp and slightly red in color.
- Add chana dal and urad dal and fry them until they turn slightly red in color.
- Add slit green chillies and fry them until they wilt.
- Add curry leaves,red chillies and fry them for few seconds.
- Cool the tempering mixture for some time and add this to the cooled rava mixture.
- Mix the required amount of salt to lemon juice and keep it ready.We have already added some salt to the rava mixture while cooking,so do add the salt quantity accordingly.
- Mix everything with hands as it ensures even mixing.Check for the taste of salt and lemon juice and add more if required.Let it sit for 1-2 hrs so that the flavors to blend well.
Serve it at room temperature with some fryums/chips/sliced cucumber.
- Adjust the amount of chillies,salt and lemon juice as per your taste buds.
- I personally prefer it slightly on the sour side,hence I add more lemon juice.
- To prepare Rice rawa: Clean and Soak the rice for some time and drain it completely and spread over a cloth so that it will drain off excess water.Coarsely grind the pound mixture in a mixer and then sieve it(do it in whipper mode).Use the rawa which is in sieve and the flour that it is sieved can be used for dosas or regular rice flour.
