Vegetable Rava Uppittu/Upma- ತರಕಾರಿ ರವೆ ಉಪ್ಪಿಟ್ಟು 

Rava Uppittu is a simple and easy to make popular South Indian breakfast .  Rava Uppittu is also popular as 'Suji Upma' and "Rava Upma" in other part of India. Onion Uppittu and Tomato uppittu  are popular, however I prefer Vegetable Uppittu.

• Now, reduce heat and slowly add the wheat rava to the water and mix it continuously so that lumps don’t form.
