Moong beans ravva and rice ravva upma

This upma is prepared with rice ravva and moong beans ravva.
You can see how to prepare Rice ravva here .
Now a days Rice ravva is available in market also.
Generally, in my home town they will mix both moong beans and rice and they will give it for mill to get them coarsely grounded into ravva.
We call this as Taalimpu rotti (or) green upma.
I remember those days , my mom prepares this as a tiffine for night dinner and i used to tell my mom to keep this for me and i will eat it tomorrow morning.Some how i like its taste in the next day morning :)
This is one of those tiffins, that every one in my family likes.
