A tiffin in a jiffy yet delicious ,wholesome and comforting thats what I can say about upmas.
They can be made in multifarious ways like with broken wheat,rava(semolina),rice,semiya(vermicelli),oats,bread etc..
There was a last batch of vermicelli laying in the pantry so me and mom decided to make vermicelli upma for dinner today.I love the upma which my mom makes.She makes the simple upma into such a delight by throwing roasted cashews,and all my fav veggies..I made this upma for supper with mom's guidance and they were so perfect and filling...
