The simplest breakfast recipe is upma, You can define upma in so many ways they’re many to discuss but today I have chosen a thick variety of wheat rava which is called cracked wheat rava the granule is bigger than broken wheat or the rava which we use regularly. Make sure the rava variety of the type which you’re going to use to make this delicious recipe. The cracked wheat easily available in all stores or you can buy online as well.
