It's been a long time since i posted a recipe in my cook book,Too busy to post & i was wondering what to post...
Ok this time it's a very traditional rava upma recipe or you can say upumava also ,I prefer to call this recipe upma... Upumava in Malayalam means upu salt & mavu means mango tree so other than the recipe name its also called salt- mango tree 😁
Kerala style uppama is nothing gr8 to write about but it was a hi-fi to me to see auntie cooking just by sprinkling hot water as the rava cooks slowly by stirring frequently to a perfect soft texture.
