I made this upma for dinner yesterday. Its a simple one pot meal. It tastes best with
sambar.I add equal amount of rice and green gram dal ( Pacha Payaru/Paasi pauaru in Tamil) in this upma. So its very filling and rich in protein. We wanted little mushy. So I added more water.But if u add the quantity of water given below, u’ll get the rice grains separate and fluffy. Please use the water according to your choice.
