Semiya Rava kichadi/ Semiya rava bath is a rich and delicious kichadi/ bath loaded with veggies. It is prepared with both Semiya and Sooji.
Traditionally this type of kichadi is prepared with either Rava or Semiya. But in the recipe I have used both. Semiya and Rava along with veggies gives this dish thick texture. It actually melts in mouth.
This rava semiya bath is very easy and simple to make Breakfast/ Mini tiffin/ Dinner. It is also healthy start of the day as it is loaded with veggies and taste. I have used mixed veggies like Carrot, Green beans and Green peas in this recipe.. You could use potato as well for taste.
Rava Semiya kichadi is similar to the preparation of regular rava upma/ sooji upma but is more tastier. This recipe can be served with chutney, sambar or even with sugar.
For much tastier version rava semiya bath can be prepared with ghee instead of oil and cashews can used along with dal. So lets get to the making!

how to make Semiya 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/ ghee in a pan add mustard seeds, after it splutters add urad dal, cashews and chana 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 5 cups water and allow the mixture to boil well so that the veggies get cooked. ( I covered it with a lid and cooked)
- When all the veggies look cooked put the flame to low. Add roasted vermicelli first then add roasted rava/ sooji 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 add 1 tablespoon ghee and serve it hot with chutney.
