Tips for Godhumai Upma Recipe
1. Certainly other veggies like beans, potato, beetroot etc can also be added.
2. Roasting the broken wheat is optional, however it adds nice aroma to the Godhumai Upma Recipe.
3. Ginger adds nice flavour to the upma and also helps in digestion.
4. Crushed ginger can be replaced with ginger paste also.
5. This broken wheat upma recipe can be prepared plain without any veggies also.
6. For tangy version, tomato can be used. But I didn’t use.
7. Always ensure the water is roll boiling, before adding the broken wheat, else it wont get cooked.
