Corn Meal-Rava Kichadi
In olden days, Rava kichdi used to be a regular in the menu when breakfast/tiffin is used to be arranged for a group of 10 or more. This was an easy option compared to preparing idly or any other tiffin when it has to be prepared in large quantity. Even though making idly is easier, since batter required is more and can prepare only 16 idlies in one batch. And in those days, when wet grinders were not so common, rava kichadi is the ideal option. It was even served for breakfast during marriages. This is considered superior to the common, plain rava upma. As the name kichadi suggests, veggies like onion,carrot, peas, french beans etc are added to it, to enhance the taste. For a change, I prepared using equal quantities of corn meal and upma rava. The end result was absolutely tasty. Everyone loved it. From now on, for kichadi, this combination will be used. I may increase the quantity of corn meal for its nutritional benefits.
