In a heavy-bottomed pan, dry roast the biyyam rava on low to medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently until it becomes aromatic and changes color slightly. Do not let it brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, and peanuts. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the dals turn light golden and the peanuts are crisp. Add the curry leaves and hing, and sauté for another 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onion, green chilies, and ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
Pour 4 cups of water into the pan, add salt and sugar, and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly add the roasted biyyam rava while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Mix well, cover, and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes until all water is absorbed and the rava is cooked through.
Turn off the heat and let the upma rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the upma with a fork, then stir in the lemon juice, coriander leaves, and optional ghee. Mix well and serve hot.
