    Godhumai Upma | Broken Wheat Upma

    Apr 16, 2015 · 5 Comments

    My 133rd recipe, "Godhumai Upma (Broken Wheat Upma)", a healthy breakfast/dinner. Broken Wheat is a very healthy ingredient to cook with. It is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index. It gives you the sensation of feeling full for a long time. Hence dishes made from broken wheat would greatly benefit folks with diabetics and people trying to loose weight. It can work as a good substitute for rice in many of the south Indian dishes like pongal, idli, etc. This is one of the most easiest, flavorful and healthy recipes you could prepare with broken wheat. While I do not have a big liking towards upma, all the other 3 who play an important part of my life love it. My mom, MIL and RK are big time fans of upma. My mom used to make this godhumai upma for dinner along with a gravy which she prepares for lunch. And for me this is one of my goto dishes when I am too tiered or lazy to cook dinner. It is just as easy as throwing everything in the cooker and you have a healthy dinner ready in less than 10 mins. Especially, the one thing I love about this upma is the kind of nutty flavor which comes from the broken wheat. Very delicious 🙂

    Notes | FAQ

    - For extra flavor, optionally, you can add finely chopped ginger along with the onion.
    - You can skip the veggies if you like, still the upma would taste good.
    - Adjust the cooking time based on your stove settings.
