how to prepare aval upma /poha/beaten/flatted rice upma
Having same type of breakfast or dinner will always be monotonous.I personally really hate such reputations frequently.This aval upma is yet another easy dinner diet I would say rather than a breakfast.Somehow I really don’t know how to explain but It suits well as a comforting night dinner for my family. Even it can be a very light diet to take it as an evening snack.My mil used to add more onions for this which is crucial for this recipe(how to prepare aval upma).
Me too like it with more onions.Usually most of the time I miss adding lemon juice which still tastes very good.If you want it to be spicy chop the green chillies finely and add.But,for me as I want it to be mild I chopped it as big chunks. Already I have Puli aval in my blog which is a definite simple recipe close to aval upma but using tamarind with no onions. Lets now see how to prepare aval upma.
