Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Rava Upma or Kichadi is one of the most common breakfast or dinner recipes in Southern Indian Kitchen. Rava Upma is plain and simple upma with only Sooji, onion, green chili and salt. We enrich the same upma with lots of vegetables and we call it "Kichadi".  Rava Kichadi  is served with chutney or lemon pickle.

We can make Rava Upma in a open pan or a pressure cooker. Here, I have used Instant Pot to make Rava Kichadi. With Instant Pot already so popular here in US, I recently got one for me and started experimenting our regular food. Instant Pot is so handy and we can cook lots of delicious one pot meal. I have already published "Instant Pot Bisibelabath" . I make Rava Kichadi very often in Instant Pot and every time it would turned out good. If there are more guests at home, making Rava Kichadi in Instant Pot is really handy.

  2. Adjust the water as per the consistency of kichadi you need. If you need crumbled kichadi, use 3 cup of water
