Broken wheat upma | Samba Godhumai ravai upma

   Broken wheat upma is a usual breakfast recipe, which i make for my in laws everyday. Since they both are diabetic, they prefer to eat this samab wheat upma for breakfast. They always prefer to have this upma with vegetables. When they came here to Singapore, i wanted to click the picture of this upma before serving them, but somehow I couldn’t make it. Yesterday I wanted to make something healthy for my dinner, i made this upma for me.

  26. Hi Jeyshree, dont you have to roast the broken wheat? i thought if you dont roast, it becomes sticky?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hi Vidhya ,
    No need to roast the broken wheat. Normally we do for rava only. It won't be sticky
