Dish description

Upma is a South-Indian dish and is usually prepared with semolina which is coarse and made from wheat. However, most semolina that we get here is enriched and not good for health. So I have given it a healthy twist and made it with rolled oats without compromising on the taste. An easy and quick way to prepare savory oats!

10. 1/4 tsp curry powder
11. 10-12 cashew halves
12. 1/4 bunch chopped cilantro
13. 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
