Rava Upma / Breakfast Recipes

Saturday, June 29, 2013

Upma is a traditional South Indian dish made of semolina (rava or sooji). It is the most common breakfast dish in South Indian homes. Mom makes upma for breakfast and also sometimes for dinner, we love to have it hot with coconut chutney or pickle. It's also made for the evening with hot masala chai or coffee. This a very basic recipe that anyone can cook, especially for the beginners who are learning to cook. So lets get started.
