Upma is a South Indian dish. It is usually made with refined wheat grains, which we generally call Rava . Upma is easy to prepare recipe.
We made this today dinner and had with Cherupayar thoran ( Green Gram Stir Fry) you can have UPMA with honey,any preserve,jam, pickle or an egg omelet I just look and take the picture and wrote this recipe .Sorry for my English

Just out of curiosity, pauljoseph, could you help me with your title. Carrot is obvious. Umpa is the semolina, right? What does rava mean?

Oh, I intend to. I'd been mulling over what to serve under black beans, other than rice, for a lunch this Tuesday. This is exactly what I intend to use. I'm not the photographer you are, but if I can get a decent photo, I'll post it.

This looks delicious. I usually have a semolina soup as a breakfast with a drizzle of olive oil. I really like the way this recipe is molded as a cup shape.

trying this for dinner, have had a hankering for uppma since reading the foodpickle about it earlier this week, your English is far better than any Indian dialect I speak.
