Poha was a stable
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 fiber in
it. I hope you will like it.

Healthy and yummy snack
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

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