Healthy & quick fix wheat upma…
Samba wheat or broken wheat is made by milling raw whole wheat grains coarsely, as a result, it’s not refined or processed. The healthiest version of wheat with amazing health benefits. It’s rich in fiber, calcium, iron, proteins & carbohydrates.
Different kinds of dishes can be made out of it. I’ve made upma, a popular South Indian dish out of it, tasted really good.
It’s an easy recipe & can be made served with chutney or other curries for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
