In a heavy-bottomed pan, dry roast the rava on low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir continuously until it becomes aromatic and turns a very light golden color, ensuring it doesn't burn. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then, add the urad dal, chana dal, and cashew nuts. Sauté for about a minute until the dals turn golden brown and cashews are lightly toasted.
Add the curry leaves, slit green chilies, and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
Pour 2.5 cups of water into the pan. Add salt and sugar. Increase the heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Reduce the heat to low. Slowly and carefully pour the roasted rava into the boiling water in a steady stream with one hand, while stirring continuously with the other to prevent any lumps from forming.
Keep mixing until the rava absorbs all the water and starts to thicken. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on the lowest heat for 2-3 minutes. This steaming step makes the upma fluffy.
Turn off the heat. Add the ghee, lemon juice, and chopped coriander leaves. Gently fluff the upma with a fork to mix everything well. Let it rest for 2 minutes before serving hot.
