Aval upma recipe

Aval upma recipe – South Indian style aval upma recipe – Poha upma recipe with a short video and step-by-step instructions.

I am huge fan of upma, yes you heard it right. Usually, many people don’t like upma. I grew up eating semiya upma, Rava upma, puli upma and I love everything. After marriage, I tasted aval upma for the first time. My mom makes vella aval only at home. My mother-in-law made a very tasty aval upma and that was the first time, I tasted a savory dish with aval.

Later heard about this Maharashtrian Batata poha recipe from friends and tried that too. I wanted to document my mother-in-law’s version of Aval upma.

  1. Wow 🙂 thats a coincidence. I made the same dish today for breakfast 🙂 but I dint add capsicum. I am sure it will add extra taste to the dish. Yummy 🙂

    • No it will be very soft and easy to chew and eat. May be you must have soaked and drained the poha and kept it open for a long time. always wash the poha and soak it for a minute in water and drain the water and add to the veggies. If you find dry while making just sprinkle some water and give it a nice mix.
