Upma is a very tasty breakfast/tiffen in South India. Its my all time favourite... I know many don't like this but actually its very yummy. We can do many variations in upma I am giving recipe for Vegetable Upma. Upma is a frequent dish in my house which is quick and easy to prepare.

This has been my favorite since my childhood. My dad makes this as an afternoon tiffin whenever mom is not at home. He just adds onions and the taste would be heavenly. Reminds me of my dad. Thanks so much for that too...:)
