Upma is a popular South Indian dish made primarily from semolina, also known as rava or suji. It is typically cooked with water, spices, and vegetables, resulting in a savory, porridge-like consistency. Common ingredients include mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, and green chilies, which add flavor and texture. This dish is often enjoyed as a breakfast option or a light meal. Upma is not only quick to prepare but also nutritious, making it a favorite among many. It can be garnished with fresh coriander or served with coconut chutney for added taste.
