Aval Upma Recipe
Aval Upma is a quick fix breakfast recipe which you can prepare in a jiffy with minimum and easily available ingredients. I find many mothers resorting to 2 minutes instant food for breakfast due to lack of time. This aval recipe can also be prepared in just a few minutes time and is very healthy, delicious and filling.

Note
- If you are using thick red aval, rinse the aval 2-3 times, drain the water completely and then sprinkle little water. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, so that it will become soft. You can use any kind of aval but make sure it is soft before adding to the upma.
