After a very long time, I am posting any recipe. Today, its something healthy and tasty. Breakfast being the first meal of the day, we want to eat healthy. Many people, like me, prefer light breakfast but over the weekend when our routine is a bit relaxed, the lunch time gets late or sometimes we prefer doing brunch. There are many options that you can make but if you are looking for something warm and tasty then try this Vegetables Oats Upma. First time when I made this, it was during winters so obviously, it was perfect for the weather. Warm, steaming Upma with a cup of tea or coffee. Awesome!! My family liked it a lot so now it has added in my list for brunch options or sometimes lunch or light dinner options as well. You can add veggies of your choice.
