Varagu Upma Recipe

Varagu Upma is a quick and easy breakfast recipe that you can make for a busy morning.You can even make it just plain or with vegetables.Varagu is also called as English : Kodo Millet, Telugu: Arikelu, Hindi: Kodra, Kannada: Harka.

I have tried few varagu recipes and this one is a quick fix for me when I am tired to make something elaborate for breakfast…I usually make it plain but sometimes add vegetables too.Keep changing your breakfast menu every now and then….don’t stick with just millets or oats daily have a change in your menu every week so that you don’t get bored and also to get the health benefits of everything.Have a great weekend!! 🙂

My Notes:

  • You can try this recipe with other millets like samai, kuthiraivali etc.
  • You can even add a 1/2 tsp of lemon juice for a lemony flavour.

    Dear Sharmi,
    This is really a different dish, your clicks are tempting to try soon.
    A small doubt is this Varagu arisi or the other one varagu grains… please clarify. Shall we make this in Thinai arisi, samai arisi, kuthiraivali arisi,,, any change in other addings or water measure?
