A twist from the normal Rice Upma. Very scrumptious and tasty upma with broken raw rice along with Indian spices. A very simple to make breakfast dish. Most of us make Rava Upma very often. Rava upma is made from Semolina (Sooji), this upma kozhukattai is made with broken rice. We can use broken rice (Rice Rava) and make Rice Upma. Rice upma tastes so good with lemon pickle and vendhaya kuzhambu also with coconut chutney.
In this upma kozhukatai, we first need to wash the rice and spread it in towel and then once its dry, we are going to grind the rice to a coarse powder like coarse sooji consistency. Then we need to temper the upma and cook rice in boiling water and then pressure cook for 3 whistles. Again take the cooked upma and make pidi kozhukattai and steam cook the pidi kozhukattai. A very healthy and tasty South Indian Breakfast that is simple and easy to make.

Hello..if it has to be prepared instantly, then how do i manage with the rice ingredient which is not soaked & ground. Can it be done with rice powder ? If yes, kindly inform how i could do it.
Happy Pongal to you & your family
We can use store bought rice rava. Instead of soaking we can just grind rice in a mixer jar and use it instantly or use the store bought rice-rava
Looks yummy. Does the raw rice have to be soaked, if so for how long?
no need to soak the rice. Just wash and spread till its dry and then grind it coarsely
