About Upama

Upama is a traditional South Indian breakfast dish made from semolina (rava or sooji) and flavored with spices and vegetables. Renowned for its light and satisfying nature, Upama typically includes ingredients like mustard seeds, curry leaves, ginger, green chilies, and a mix of vegetables such as carrots, peas, and onions. It is often garnished with fresh coriander and a sprinkle of lemon juice for added zest. With its origins rooted in Indian cuisine, Upama is a versatile meal that balances carbohydrates from semolina with the fiber and nutrients found in the vegetables. It is low in fat when cooked with minimal oil, making it a healthy option for weight management and energy. However, overuse of oil, ghee, or excessive seasoning can reduce its nutritional benefits. Paired with coconut chutney or yogurt, Upama is a wholesome, nutrient-rich dish with wide appeal.
