Healthy fully nutrient Upma stays in minimum 1 day of my 7 days’ breakfast menu.I love it cause it takes very less oil to get cooked.And even 1 small bowl keeps my hunger switched off for long time.When I was in south India I used to have it more often and learnt the recipe from the warden of my old hostel there.
