Karnataka style simple rave uppittu or rava upma recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is a no-onion uppittu or upma recipe. This type of rave uppittu is also familiar by name sajjige uppittu. This is a satvik upma or uppittu recipe as we are preparing this without onion.
You can find many different types of uppittu or upma recipes on this website like shavige uppittu or vermicelli upma, rave uppittu or rava upma, akki uppittu or rice upma and godhi kadi uppittu or broken wheat upma recipes.
Even though rava uppittu or rava upuma is extremely popular, there are people who loves this so much and there are some people who hates it as well. Anyway I like it very much. Since its very nutritious, if you like it or not dont forget to include in your diet. And in case if you do not like upma, then you can find many other rava recipes like rava dosa, rava stuffed paratha, rava kesari bath, rave unde or rava laddu, rave idli or rava idli and rava roti.
Generally this type of upma or uppittu is one of the breakfast item in Brahmins family especially during special events. Because on those special events or occasions onion is not banned. But no matter, this is a very simple yet tastes so good. This uppittu or upma is paired with masale avalakki or Mangalore style huli-avalakki or this gojjavalakki.
Upma or uppittu recipe varies from region to region through out South India. The differences are in the colour and the quantity of water used. Follow this recipe to prepare tasty, satvik, no-onion upuma or uppittu.
