Upma is a famous Indian breakfast. It is a quick, healthy and delicious breakfast recipe. I make upma for breakfast many times, as it is very easy and tasty.
Upma is made up of rava or semolina, green chili, onion and tomato. To make upma we need to roast rava first. For a perfect upma recipe always use hot water in a recipe. Also the quantity of water should be 3 parts of rava. If we are using 1 cup of rava, use 3 cups of hot water for it.
