2.Heat a pan, add a little oil, and dry roast the millet for 5 minutes on low flame. Keep aside.

3.In a pressure cooker, heat oil.

4.Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, urad dal, chana dal, and peanuts. Fry until golden brown.

5.Add chopped onion and sauté until soft.

6.Add tomato and cook for a minute.

7.Add all chopped vegetables (potato, cucumber, and optional veggies). Mix well.

8.Add salt and roasted millet. Mix everything nicely.

9.Pour 600 ml water (since the millet is not soaked).

10.Close the lid and cook for 4 whistles.


Let the pressure release naturally.

🥥 Garnish

Top with fresh coriander leaves and grated coconut before serving.

💡 Tips

Roasting gives a nice aroma and prevents stickiness.

You can skip cucumber if you prefer.

Adjust water slightly if you soak the millet.

Simple, healthy, and filling—this navane upma is perfect for a nutritious breakfast or light meal!🫶
