Samba wheat (Broken wheat) Upma


Upma is one of my comfort & healthy dish prepared during my hectic day out.  Semolina, rice, aval & vermicelli are often used in preparing Upma's.  Samba wheat upma is most healthy & very nutritious too.  I cook them with vegetables & serve with spicy chutneys.  We can keep it very simple without any vegetables & cook them in pressure cooker too.
