SPICY OATS (UPMA) !

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!
