This is the second Upma recipe I am sharing with you; I had shared vermicelli upma recipe a couple of weeks ago. This is how my mom used to to prepare this breakfast dish. Semolina Upma is a popular breakfast dish in South India. Upma is variously known as Uppuma, Uppittu, Sajjige etc. The addition of green peas and cauliflower makes this dish yummier and healthier!
Preparation time - 10 minutes
Cooking time - 25 minutes
Ingredients :
Semolina - 1 cup
Onion - 2, finely chopped
Ginger - 1/2'' piece, finely chopped
Green chilies - 1-2, finely chopped
