Upma is a savory South Indian breakfast dish made from semolina (rava) saut ed with spices, vegetables, and sometimes peanuts. The semolina is cooked with mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal, green chilies, onions, and curry leaves, resulting in a flavorful and slightly spicy porridge-like consistency. Garnished with fresh coriander and optionally a squeeze of lemon juice, Upma is both hearty and versatile, often enjoyed with coconut chutney or pickle. Its comforting texture and aromatic spices make it a popular choice for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.
