How to make Rava kichadi with step by step images

Heat a pan and dry roast rava/ sooji in medium flame for a minute. When done transfer it to a bowl. Slice onions thin and make a slit in green chilli.
Now heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds, after it splutters add urad dal and channa dal, when it turns golden brown add curry leaves, sliced onion and green chilli. Saute well.
Now add chopped carrot, beans, peas, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and saute all the veggies for a minute.
When the veggies look sauteed add 3 cups water and allow the mixture to boil well so that the veggies get cooked. ( I covered it a lid and cooked)
When all the veggies look cooked put the flame to low. Add sooji/ rava gradually with continuous stir so that it does not form any lumps. Now put a lid and cook the mixture in low flame for 5 minutes or until done.
When done put off the flame and serve it hot with chutney and sambar.
