SEMOLINA BUTTERMILK UPMA

 

 

My Grandma consumed only satvik diet during her life time. Her recipes comprised of no-onion,no-garlic dishes. This upma,is yet another flavoursome dish from her repertoire. Since her upma was devoid of onions,she discovered methods to make it delectable. Hence, she incorporated coconut gratings,buttermilk,asafoetida or tamarind syrup and transformed ordinary upma to an amazing dish. For best results,make sure that the buttermilk is sour,as tanginess is very vital for the flavour of this upma.
