Masala upma

Bored with the normal upma here is a variation. U can make it spicy by adding vangibath powder and U can make it healthy by adding vegetables. So this will be a better option for those who hate upma. This upma tastes good when prepared with a type of rava called as
"bansi rava". This will prove to be a perfect sunday breakfast




Ingredients: 1cup bansi rava
                    1/4cup mixed boiled vegetables(potato, beans, carrot, green peas) finely
                     chopped.
                    1 large onion finely chopped
