Rice Ada Upma is a quick and easy breakfast recipe that you can make for a busy morning.I had some leftover ada which I bought for making payasam for Onam.I always end up making only payasam with ada so this time tried upma with it.I googled a bit for more interesting ada recipes but sadly none were there but I am happy that I tried this simple upma as I loved it especially with the coconut oil flavour, soft ada with crunchy onion and carrots perfect for breakfast!You can make sweet version by adding coconut,sugar and cardamom powder.

My Notes:

You can use any of your favorite veggies too.You can even add 1 small tomato for a tangy flavour.
Do not overcook the veggie, let the crunch be there.
You can even add a 1/2 tsp of lemon juice for a lemony flavour.
