Easy Arisi Upma | Rice Upma Recipe - Fasting Lunch Recipes/Vrat Food

Arisi upma
Arisi upma is our family favorite recipe. I learnt this from my MIL.Its one of our traditional recipes in which raw rice & toor dal is soaked in water for 2 hours,ground coarsely and slowly cooked in Vengala paanai/Brass pot with seasoning.It takes nearly 45 minutes to prepare in pot.This upma is also prepared by Iyengars/Iyers.Mostly we make this upma for Lunch and sometimes for breakfast or dinner during fasting/Vrat/Vratham days like Maha Shivratri, Ekadesi, Kanda Shasti and Karthigai.Today being Kanda Shasti, we made this rice upma along with no onion no garlic sambar recipe and sweet puttu for our lunch.You can make some payasam, pongal or some sweet dishes adding jaggery and offer for Neivedyam. Sambar & coconut chutney are the best side dishes for this upma.My MIL taught me how to make this upma quickly & easily using pressure cooker without even soaking rice & dal.So I thought of sharing this simple and easy fasting lunch recipes idea for you all to make your food quickly under 15 minutes on fasting days.If you are allowed to take raw rice on Vrat days,do try this easy upma recipe.You will love it.Lets see how to make our South Indian breakfast recipe - Rice Upma/Arisi upma.

Note
  • Traditionally rice & dal should be washed & soaked for 2 hours.Then it should be spreaded in a towel or paper for 10 minutes.It should be ground coarsely in batches.By doing this way,u get really soft upma.But the method I have suggested saves time and this upma can be done quickly.So its finally your choice of making : ))
  • You can replace red chillies by green chillies too.
  • You can make the same upma using broken rice/Noi.

Enjoy this traditional,easy rice upma recipe for your breakfast or dinner with sambar or Chutney !
