Easy Breakfast ! OATS UPMA

Upma or Uppuma or Uppittu is a common South Indian breakfast dish, cooked as a thick porridge from dry roasted semolina. Uppumavu (derived from uppu mavu, meaning salted flour) Various seasonings and/or vegetables are often added during the cooking, depending on individual preferences.

Upma is usually made with Semolina (called Rava or Suji in India) or Wheat Rava (broken wheat).
