Quick, easy, nutritious and filling, a stomach full of upma can sustain a person for several hours without getting hungry or craving for the next feed. Upma is usually made of coarsely ground rice or wheat (called semolina), enhanced with seasoning in ghee or oil (such as one described in 22) and a fair amount of vegetables such as beans, carrots, green peas, etc. Another popular breakfast, a standard fare particularly in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra, is a variety of preparations made from flattened rice called Poha.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong> Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p> The key aspect of breakfast food such as upma, poha, porridge is its quickness and ease of preparation &#8211; the whole process does not take more than 15 minutes, from start to finish. Hence, it is an ideal item to prepare when the number of people to feed is large or one is pressed for time.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> <strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p> As the recipes below will show, the basic ingredients are coarsely ground rice or wheat or flattened rice, seasoning with ghee and water as required.
