Hey nice recipe and its easy. I usually fry the rava a bit before making upma.That way it doesn't taste raw and cooks really well but never tried without frying the rava. Will try it soon.

I skip frying of the rava,however while adding the tadka and onions i add a little more oil..This saves you time and effort.Trust the upma tastes really good!
