Kharabath recipe

  Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 Mins |Serves: 2

     Sooji |Rava   1/2 cup
     Onion     1
     Tomato  1 small
     Oil    2 tsp
     Ghee   1 tsp
     Mustard seeds   1/4 tsp
     Urad dal   1/4 tsp
     Cashew nuts   5
     Curry leaves   few
     Red chili powder  3/4 tsp
     MTR Vaangi bath masala   1/2 tsp
     Salt    as needed
     Green peas   1 tblsp (optional) 
     Grated coconut   1 tsp (to garnish)
     
     

Method:

• Dry roast the rava|sooji, in a pan for 5 minutes, without changing its colour.

• Keep it aside. In the same pan add oil and throw in the mustard seeds, urad dal, cashew nuts and curry leaves.
• Finely chop the onions and tomato.
• Add the onions to the pan and saute it for few minutes, till they become translucent. 

• Add the tomatoes, red chili powder, MTR vaangi bath masala, salt and green peas(if adding).
• Let this cook for 2 minutes till the tomatoes become mushy.

• Add 1 and 1/4 cup of water to this and allow this to boil. When the water starts boiling add the roasted sooji |rava to this and keep the flame to low.

• Stir it well to avoid forming lumps. Cook this in a low flame for 5-7 minutes, till all the water gets absorbed. 
• Add the ghee now and mix well. Switch off the flame.

• Khara bath is ready to serve. Serve it hot with coconut chutney. My personal favorite is to sip a filter coffee and have a spoon of upma. 
• Garnish with grated coconut.

Notes:

1. MTR Vaangi bath masala enhances the flavour of the khara bath. 
2. I have tried with vaangi bath masala and without that too. I felt the addition of Vaangi bath masala brings the close taste of the MTR style khara bath.
3. You can add finely chopped carrots too, while adding the green peas.
