ABOUT Sooji Upma (Semolina Porridge) RECIPE

This is a healthy and a nutritious South Indian breakfast of semolina cooked with some green peas. It is a very simple and a quick dish that can be prepared in a jiffy and is very common in most homes. You can add any veggies to it, to enhance the flavour and make it more wholesome. Relish it with coconut chutney or pickle. I like mine with some idli podi sprinkled over it.
