Upma or A typical South Indian breakfast recipe. It’s really simple and easy recipe. Whenever we have sudden guests at home and we do not have ready batters to make breakfast, upma is the best breakfast to serve. It is tummy filler for long time. During my childhood days my mom used to make upma and serve whenever we need to go for shopping. As it satiates our hunger for longer time. It is also good for health too. We can add lot of veggies too in it but for now I am adding only onion. At a later time I would make with lot of veggies and share the recipe too.
