Upma or Uppittu is a dish originated from Southern part of India. It is made as a thick porridge from dry roasted semolina or coarsely ground rice. Depending on everyone's taste different types of vegetables or seasonings are added. The most popular variety of upma are made with sooji or semolina, cracked wheat upma, rice upma, aval upma, vermicelli upma and the list goes on.
Today I will be preparing a tasty and healthy version of upma with oats and sooji. This is one of the easiest and healthiest upma as it also has mixed veggies like carrots, beans and peas. Add what ever veggies you have at home or the veggies which you think would taste better with oats and sooji.

This is such a delicious version Sushma, I have made this version a couple of times when I wanted to include oats, very healthy and easy to make too.
Combining oats with rava is a smart idea Sushma. I have made oats upma and rava upma. But this combination is something I want to try later. Bookmarking the recipe!
