Broken wheat upma is a usual breakfast recipe, which i make for my in laws everyday. Since they both are diabetic, they prefer to eat this samab wheat upma for breakfast. They always prefer to have this upma with vegetables. When they came here to Singapore, i wanted to click the picture of this upma before serving them, but somehow I couldn’t make it. Yesterday I wanted to make something healthy for my dinner, i made this upma for me.

Hi Jeyshree, dont you have to roast the broken wheat? i thought if you dont roast, it becomes sticky?
Hi Vidhya ,
No need to roast the broken wheat. Normally we do for rava only. It won't be sticky
thanks jeyashri, i will try this recipe and give you my feedback
Is it possible to replace the samba wheat with barley? Would it cook the same way? Thanks.
I have never tried with barley. You can try with millets too
