Notes

  • Adding vegetables is of your choice.You can add any of your favourite vegetable.You can even make it plain without adding veggies just plain when you are pressed for time.
  • Make sure not to drain cooked water to retain the nutrients of the veggies.
  • You can add a pinch of sambar powder too for extra flavour.
  • You can replace green chillies with 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder.
  • I used fresh veggies, you can use frozen too....In that case you can just cook it along with onion itself no need to precook it.
  • Adding tomato sauce gives a nice tanginess to the upma. You can replace it with lemon juice too.
