Author's Notes

Add any mix of veggies as per availability and liking. You can use frozen or fresh vegetables. Keep all the vegetables, and seasonings needed for the upma ready and nearby. It saves a lot of time and reduces mess.

Curry leaves are available at any Indian grocery store and on Amazon. Skip adding it if not available to you.
