Godhumai rava pulav |Dalia rava upma | broken wheat pulao with step by step detailed  photo and video recipe is healthy and tasty tiffin up a recipe  made from the broken or cracked wheat.  Call it pulav/pulao/biryani/upma/brinji/pilaf it is one healthy  nutritional alternative to the traditional rava.

Healthy gothumai raca can also be served for diabetes patients/ elders /people who want to diet. It is also a tasty kids as lunch box tiffin variety for kids and office lunches. Pressure cooker one pot meal is super easy and quick, perfect for busy days.

Gothumai rava is one ingredient I often use it in our home. We prefer avoiding rice for dinner, so at least once a week cracked wheat dish will be in my routine menu

My Amma used to make cracked wheat pongal. Inspired by that,I generally make Pongal. Other than Pongal upma is my go to option. Today for a change thought of making pulav. Added some masala and now this Godhumai rava upma/pulav is our favorite.

I usually make Godhumai rava pulav in a pan and I posted that few years ago. Busy days calls for a easy meal so these days started making it in pressure cooker and this is super quick. Love this version. 

When it is a low carb meal my dear friend paneer joined the show to make it yummy and to take care of the protein part for the Godhumai rava pulav. I have skipped paneer in my YouTube video. 

Godhumai rava pulav is a great low Cal tiffin varies for diabetes patients. It is one good option if you are looking for healthy dinner options.

Notes

  1. For instant pot version cook the pulav in high temperature for 4 minutes
  2. Paneer can be skipped
  3. Potatoes can be added
  4. Coconut milk can be added for extra flavour
  5. I used 1:3 water as my cracked wheat was big. The amount of water may vary based on the kurunai size
  6. If you are not a big fan of masala make it a khichdi without masalas
  7. Cook it medium flame. Avoid high flame
