foreign [Music] [Applause] I know I haven’t made a video in a while a little over two months I would say for those of you who follow me on Instagram you probably already know as to why I haven’t been posting all these days uh but basically I was away in India and I was pretty occupied with a lot of things the biggest thing being me getting married yep I got married um so I just wanted I just wanted to dedicate all my time to my family friends and the wedding prep but now that we are back back to the States back to actual freaking reality time to get back on track not just in terms of hitting the gym but also getting back on track with my regular routine and seriously focusing on putting videos again so I promise you we are going to be consistent again with loads of low calorie high protein Indian recipes and loads and loads of information if you are as excited as me then hit that like button because it’s been a while and also subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already [Music] in today’s video we are going to be making a super simple recipe it’s a staple in a lot of South Indian homes we are going to be making rava upma not only is it delicious but it’s also calorie and macro friendly and I bet it’s the lowest calorie version you will find on the internet excited let’s jump into my kitchen for the ingredients you will need 167 grams of semolina 5 grams of cumin seeds 7 grams of oil I went with olive oil 5 grams of mustard seeds 15 grams of Chana Dal 15 grams of urad Dal 10 cashews a few Curry leaves two to three green chilies one tablespoon of Ginger 1 medium onion chop and finally 7 grams of some Desi ghee start off by adding the semolina and the cumin seeds in a pan and dry roasted on medium flame make sure you don’t dry roast it for too long to a point it turns brown or overcooks foreign [Music] set it aside to cool and in a new pan add the half tablespoon of oil along with the mustard seeds Chana Dal urad Dal Curry leaves and the cashews saute it for about a minute until they change color [Music] next add the onions garlic and the green chilies and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent [Music] after that pour three to three and a half cups of water into the mix along with some salt as per your liking and bring it to a boil then start adding the roasted semolina bit by bit and while doing so stir the mixture slowly [Music] foreign [Music] once everything is added cover the pan with the lid and set the heat to low let it remain like that for about 2 minutes and finally add half tablespoon of ghee and give it a few more stirs and there you go your rava upma is all set [Music] so ingredients wise step wise and even taste wise it probably is the same as what you would generally make at home but making small adjustments to the quantities here and there is the biggest difference to make it lower in calories and it’s like getting The Best of Both Worlds you get to eat what you like to eat and also it’s a lower calorie version of it and that’s what I’m trying to show with these recipe videos it’s to show you how we can take a regular basic staple Indian meals and make them either lower in calories and or higher in protein so that you don’t have to restrict yourself you can have everything but at the same time make progress in the gym all right so with that being said let’s now move on to the calorie breakdown of this recipe this entire recipe is to be divided into four servings and each serving is about 240 calories of which 39 grams are carbs 6 grams are fat and 8 grams of protein and to make this a complete meal let’s say for breakfast you can add a protein shake or four to five egg whites on the side so you will be getting good amount of carb from the upma and about 20 to 30 grams of protein from the protein shake or the egg whites and with that guys we come to the end of this video I hope you enjoyed it I hope you enjoyed the recipe please do try it out if you do tag me on Instagram I would love to see it and until next time you take care you stay safe and I will see you in the next video peace okay uh I don’t know why I did that alright guys [Music]
