Upma is normally made for breakfast sometime, we eat the same as tiffin in the night also. The upma can be prepared with suji,rava or semolina, with broken wheat, with broken rice etc. and can be served with sambhar, chutney or as it is or with pickle. My childlren eat with little sugar on top of it or some nylon sev and chopped onion and tomatoes with coriander leaves.
I always make the same with some vegetables as this is the only way out to feed my children certain vegetables viz. beans, green peas etc. In my blog, you will always find oil in less quantity as i am following strict diet. Hence you may increase the quantity of oil, spice etc. according to your taste.
