About Sooji upma

Sooji Upma is a popular South Indian breakfast dish made from roasted semolina (sooji), cooked with water or buttermilk, tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, and a variety of vegetables like carrots, peas, and beans. This savory dish is lightly spiced and garnished with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon for added zest. Rich in carbohydrates, Sooji Upma provides a quick source of energy, while the added vegetables contribute essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. The use of minimal oil and the absence of heavy creams or sauces make it a relatively low-fat option. However, portion control is key, as semolina is a refined grain, which may not suit low-glycemic diets. For a more nutritious twist, you can incorporate whole-grain semolina or add more protein-rich ingredients like nuts or lentils to balance the macronutrients. A wholesome and comforting meal, Sooji Upma is versatile, quick, and satisfying.
