This breakfast recipe is a variation of the usual Upma that we make using Semolina /Rava. Made in most Maharashtrian households as a breakfast item, it is low in calories, great in taste and fills the tummy nicely till lunchtime! Tastes best when had piping hot, it can be had with roasted or fried Poha papad and mango or lime pickle to enhance its taste even further.
