To make masala
Marinate the chicken in the above mentioned ingredients and shallow fry it till cooked and light golden in colour. Cut the fried chicken further into smaller pieces if the pieces were big.
In the same oil, sauté the onion till nicely browned and soft for 10-15 minutes.
Add in the ginger garlic paste. Stir for a minute. Add curry leaves. Add in tomatoes and sauté well till all tomatoes are mashed up.
Add chilli, turmeric, coriander and garam masala powders and mix well.
Pour 3/4th cup of water and let it simmer on medium low flame for 10 minutes or so till all the water dries up. Add salt.
Add in fried chicken and cook with the lid on for few more minutes. Switch off flame.
To make upma
Heat ghee in a pan and splutter the mustard seeds.
Add in curry leaves, ginger, onions and green chillies and sauté well.
Add in the rava, stir well.
Pour in boiling water and add salt. Stir continuosly. When rava is well incorporated into the water, add in the chicken masala and mix well. Close the lid and cook further on very low flame for 4-5 minutes.
Serve hot.
Notes
NOTES: * You can make this with prawns instead of chicken. * Stir continuosly after the water has been added to the rava, otherwise the rava will form into lumps.
