Vegitable Upma / Vegitable Uppittu


Vegetable Upma / Vegetable Uppittu is a popular breakfast dish in Bangalore of the Kannadigas. I am not aware of the traditional method but this is how I prepare, so that my daughter who is fussy eater of vegetables can eat all vegetables in this form. Its a good nutritious breakfast to start our day too...
