Uppindi

Uppindi is a traditional recipe from Andhrapradesh..This is prepared with coarsely ground rice also called biyyam rava. This doesn't taste like regular upma but a little different and awesome in taste.My kids love to have this any time. I used to have uppindi during my childhood days when amma prepared at home.I keep watching all the time when amma was cooking  uppindi...Atleast once in a week we used to have uppindi.

                       Now a days  my kids demanding me to cook this for breakfast.Ofcourse worth the time and effort spend on this recipe. Whenever summer comes I sun dry rice and store rava for later use.when I ask choice between uppindi and dosa for my kids they always choose uppindi...Now coming to the recipe I thought of posting this recipe in BM#55 under the theme  kids delight healthy breakfast recipes.
