CORIANDER UPMA

Upma is a simple, tasty and easy to prepare breakfast.  Along with chutney, sambar and choley, it tastes awesome.  I have posted few upma recipes.  Today, when I was preparing Rava upma, thought of some innovative method which is healthy too.  Since coriander leaves are good for diabetic people, thought of trying with it.  It was awesome and I liked to have to with onion raita and some pickle.
