Upma is a very healthy and tasty Indian breakfast, in which the main ingredient is semolina. It is very popular in southern part of Indian. But nowadays Upma is served in many other households also. Almost twice in a week my mom used to give me 'jhal sooji'(Bengali term) in my lunchbox. It's not just me, my friends also enjoyed it. The fresh flavors of curry leaves and green chilies, proteins from lots of vegetables will always make this breakfast tasty and healthy. The recipe is very simple and easy. Try this in your kitchen and let me know how it turns out.
