To make a quick dish for myself on a lazy day,I prefer to make one pot meal or upma.As my family say a big no to upmas and kichadi I make it for lunch,once in a while to satisfy my cravings.
My mom used to make mixed vegetable masala kichidi/bath whenever we are bored with regular upam..The same recipe I make it with little more tomato and no veggies.If the semolia/rava is roasted then this can be made in no time.To fasten the cooking process I used the hot water to cook the semolina.
