Lovely upma. Is this my lunch?

This reminds me of stuffing, but it has some delicious differences. Most of the spices you used is not found in traditional stuffing and the addition of the veggies turns it into a more heartier dish. It does look tasty and toasty in your pictures-yum!

Upma is new to me but it does seem as if it is a gorgeously-spiced, vegetable packed stuffing - something my children would have loved. I remember those lunch box days and the chore of finding healthy options. While it's still hard - it's easier than it used to be - kudos to your recipe!
Sumi

Many fruits and vegetables, including spinach, broccoli and avocadoes, are also good sources of vitamin E, another excellent antioxidant.
