Easy Rava/ Semolina Upma/Uppumaavu Kerala (India) Style Recipe

Upma or Uppumavu is a simple and healthy Indian breakfast dish. Rava Upma/Uppumava is nutritious and tasty recipe prepared with roasted semolina or cream of wheat. We can make upma different variations like adding vegetables, dry nuts and fruits etc. Here I shared with you it’s plain and easy recipe which I learned from my mom during my school days. Most of the time I prepared upma because of my mom 🙁 she cooked something which I dislike for breakfast 😉 Yeah! Those days this was quick and an easy recipe for my hunger and after my preparation I used to shout to my mom proudly with some naughty cutie chef voice “See! my delicious salt mango tree is ready to serve, anyone want to taste” 😉 (The Malayalam words “Uppu”means salt and “Maavu” means “Mango tree”) Those days I love to eat upma/uppumaavu with ripe banana, sugar and hot tea or coffee and nothing has change till today 😉 🙂
