Vegetable Upma is a wholesome and traditional South Indian breakfast dish made from rava (semolina/sooji) cooked with vegetables, mild spices, and tempered seasonings. It is soft, fluffy, and lightly spiced, offering both comfort and nourishment. The vegetables add color, texture, and nutrition, while the tempering of curry leaves, green chilies, ginger, and cashews infuses it with an aromatic, earthy flavor. Served hot with coconut chutney, pickle, or just plain sugar, it makes a satisfying meal any time of the day.
