Avarekai Uppittu/ Avarekai Upma


Here's another karnataka speciality dish for you, people. Refer to my previous post on Avarekai Sambhar for details about Avarekai. Avarekai uppitttu is usually made for breakfast or for tea time snacks. My blogger friend Manjula requested this recipe saying, shez heard so much about Avarekai Uppittu from kannadigas that she wants to have it too!! Hope you all like it...

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Sooji Rava/Semolina
1 Medium sized Onion, finely chopped
1 cup Avarekai
1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
1 tsp Jeera
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2 tbsp Grated coconut
1 Green chilli, slit lengthwise
2 tsp oil
1 tsp Sugar
2-3 Curry leaves
A pinch of haldi
Salt as per taste

Method:
  1. Dry roast rava in a kadai until it turns golden brown and the raw smell disappears. Keep aside.

  2. Cook avarekai with salt water until it turns soft and keep aside.

  3. Heat oil in kadai. Add mustard seeds, jeera; Add Haldi, curry leaves, green chilli and pepper powder after the seeds splutter.

  4. Add the chopped onions and fry till it turns transparent.

  5. Now add 1.5 cups of water to the onions. Add avarekai, salt and sugar and mix well.

  6. After the water starts boiling, add rava little by little. Stir continuously so that lumps are not formed.

  7. Cook covered for about 2 mins. Add grated coconut and mix well.

  8. Remove from stove; Add lemon juice and serve hot!! I love Avarekai uppittu with pickle and sugar..... Sounds like a weird combo, but it tastes really good!!! :)

Thank you so much for posting this one. Is AvarekaLu same as Lima beans?

Ramya's Mane Adige said...

@Manjula,

ummm.... No Manjula, not really. Lima beans is different. Avarekaalu will be available under the name 'Surti Papdi Lilva' in Indian stores. Check it out in the frozen section!!

Roopa said...

Sia said...

i have seen lilva beans in frozen section ramya and use it to make kachories. u have got 2 differnt recipes. back in india my mother hardly used to cook using avarekai.
i usually fry rava for a minute and then add water. i see that u bring water to boil n then add rava. guess it wont make much difference:) thanks for the recipe. will bookmark this famous b'lore recipe:)

Ohh I love this uppittu. I made it couple of times in Bangalore. My friend gave few recipes with it, but I didn't know what it is called in English so could not pick up from Indian store. I am sure I have seen it in Indian store here.

Manjula, avrekalu is smaller than lima beans. In Bangalore, we used to get some peas kind of beans which needs to be peeled and inside you can find these avrekalu. Many times these avrekalu are again peeled to remove the skin and then used. The outmost covering is harder than those of peas.

Hi,

Uppittu looks great. One small suggestion, if this upma is prepared with Upma rava or Bansi rava, it comes out much more tastier.
