Upma is a tradional south indian breakfast made from rava. Upma is not soo delicious as many people don’t like the bland taste. It is usually made with roasted semolina/rava cooked in water along with few veggies.
To make Upma more tasty, I am adding curd to the upma so its tangy. This tanginess will make your taste buds dance.
