Hey guys, here is Oats & Semolina Upma with assorted veggies, a perfect healthy breakfast to kick start your day! Please try it and don't forget to comment, like, share and SUBSCRIBE to my channel Curry for the Soul on YouTube for more such easy and delicious recipes.

Oats are a healthy option for weight-watchers and diabetics. All you need to do is dry roast the oats and semolina over low flame to remove the raw aroma of oats. Tempering is the common method in South India with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, green chillies or dry red chillies, curry leaves and asafoetida.

In this recipe to add more flavours and make it healthy, I have added a small onion, little yogurt, cashew nuts and desiccated coconut. And for garnishing as usual I have added fresh coriander leaves. They are not just cooling but also appeals to the vision.

You can prepare this breakfast within 15 minutes. How quick and easy that can be!
