Receta Upma Recipe | How To Make Kerala Rawa Upma
Basic rawa upma made with grated coconut and in coconut oil is one of the best breakfast recipes of Kerala. Kerala rawa upma is simple and healthy perfect to start the day with and is easy to make especially in the busy mornings.
I grew up on this upma and I dont know from where amma got this recipe; but remember back in the 80s "dalda" ruled the kitchen and she used to make it with dalda only! As years passed, I started using coconut oil instead of dalda; but amma still makes it with dalda....and one more thing she does not use onions; she uses "cheriya ulli" or shallots.
