Aval Thalichathu (Upma)
Poha was a staple food in our breakfast when I was with my mom. She used to make it different each time, everything taste great. I learned few recipes from my mother and now I am making it at my home. This one is the basic upma recipe which can be made in less than 15 mins.
It is nothing but a simple seasoned poha, this is so light on the tummy but has lots of fibre in it. I hope you will like it.
How to Make Aval Thalichathu (Upma)

I had to look most of these ingredients up as I have never heard of them! I cannot imagine eating all that for breakfast. I have a banana which is quick and easy with a cup of herbal tea!
Have a good day Diane

Can we use white poha for preparing this upma? Should we prepare in the same way by sprinkling water and salt to it?
Aarthi
