Pori Upma Recipe | Puffed Rice Upma Recipe

Pori Upma is a quick and easy dish that you can make for after school snacks as it is light still filling. Masala Pori is spicy for kids and hence Pori Upma is a good alternate to it. It is healthy too with carrots & peanuts. It tastes mild and soft, and the puffed rice takes in flavors so easily, so you don’t need anything fancy at all to make it taste good.

Notes

  • Rinse the pori gently – Make sure to rinse the pori just once and squeeze it lightly. I usually rinse in a strainer so it doesn’t turn mushy.
  • Don’t overcook veggies – Try not to overcook the carrot or onion because the upma tastes better when veggies have little crunch still.
  • Adjust spice easily – You can add green chilli for more spice or skip red chilli for kids. This can be modified in many ways.
  • Use fresh pori – I have used fresh crisp pori as it softens well. Old pori becomes too chewy after rinsing.
  • Add lemon for tang – You can add few drops of lemon juice in the end for mild tangy flavor. I do this sometimes when I want fresh taste.
