Aval Upma(Poha Upma) is a quick and easy to prepare and tasty breakfast.With veggies included it makes a wholesome and filling breakfast. I have already posted a simple poha upma recipe, this is just a variation to the usual aval upma we make.
Aval upma is very handy to me especailly when I run out of idli dosa batter and want a quick breakfast fix.Hubby has no complaints too, he loves poha upma with sugar sprinkled…yes thats his way of eating 🙂 Check out more poha recipes that I have already posted.I love sweet poha the most and aval upma bags the next place.

- Add turmeric powder and give a quick stir then add onions saute till slightly browned.Now add cooked veggies along with spice powders and required salt.Let the veggies blend with the masala powders.
- Now add soaked poha…by now poha would have absorbed the water fully.Give a quick mix and cook for 2mins.Finally add roasted peanut, garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
Serve hot as a teatime snack or for breakfast too!
My Notes:
- You can even add tomatoes with onions.
- You have lot of variations to this easy upma, skip jeera while tempering add roasted jeera powder.You can even add a pinch of sambar powder.
- Adding veggies is your choice, you can add favorite veggies of your choice.
- You can even add 2 tbsp of coconut for extra crunch.
