Wheat Rava Upma | Broken Wheat Upma | Cracked Wheat Upma | Sambha Godhumai Rava Uppuma

Wheat Rava Upma | Broken Wheat Upma | Cracked Wheat Upma is  a healthy, filling breakfast and can be made in minutes. Normally I go for this when I don’t have idli batter or feeling bored of making something laborious. I prefer white rava upma over Samba Godumai Rava Upma but the latter is healthier and hence I changed my mind to make this once in a while. This is very good for diabetic people as it helps to start the day with a filling breakfast and those who are on diet can also go for this recipe since the sambha godhumai is rich in fibre. Ingredients: Broken Wheat Rava – 1 cup Water –...

Today, I thought of making this dish for lunch as it had been a long time since I made this at home. I did not make this dish for a long time as we happened to go out for dinners frequently and whenever  we went out, we used to consume a lot of fried foods. So I have avoided even...
