upma | rava upma | sooji upma | quick upma recipe | breakfast upma | with 19 amazing images.

Upma is one of the most common South Indian breakfast recipes, which is now popular all over India. rava upma is a quick preparation using common ingredients available in the Indian kitchen, and so it can be made without much ado.

breakfast upma is made by roasting rava which is then a tempering of spices along with some onions and cooked on a slow flame for 3 to 4 minutes.

You can also make quick upma recipe healthier by adding a lot of boiled vegetables like carrots, beans, potatoes, tomatoes and peas along with the semolina when cooking. This will add more fibre to sooji upma making it a lot healthier. Serve rava upma hot in an inverted cup shape, as suggested.

Tips to make rava upma quickly when your kids come home. You can roast a large quantity of rava , store it in an airtight container which makes the rava last longer and not get fungus. Use it as and when you wish to make Upma.

I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect rava upma. Mix the Upma well and cook on a medium flame for not more than 1 minute, while stirring continuously. Cooking for a long period of time, after the addition of lemon can make rava upma bitter.
