Broken wheat upma recipe is easy and quick to make, making it a very common breakfast of South India. Green peas give a unique taste to this upma. I prepared this with frozen green peas. A bowl of freshly cooked wheat rava upma is one of the healthiest and tastiest option for diabetic and for weight loss. It is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index.
