About Uppuma

Uppuma, also spelled Upma, is a traditional Indian dish commonly enjoyed as a breakfast or snack. Originating primarily from South India, it is made by roasting semolina (rava) and cooking it with water, ghee or oil, and an aromatic mix of spices such as mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies. Vegetables like carrots, peas, onions, and beans are often added to enhance its nutritional value. Uppuma is a wholesome source of carbohydrates and some dietary fiber, especially when enriched with vegetables. It is relatively low in fat if prepared with minimal oil or ghee. For added protein, ingredients like roasted nuts or lentils can be included. While Uppuma is a hearty and energizing dish, its calorie content can increase depending on the quantity of clarified butter or oil used during cooking. It remains a popular, adaptable dish that balances flavor and nutrition.
