Cabbage Rava Upma Recipe

Cabbage Rava Upma is one of the recent add-ons to our Menu. I know many run a mile when spoken about Upmas. Luckily I am not one of those. Even though it's not something I really remembered eating much while growing up, I remember relishing it as Amma's Upmas are classic. I know I always sing Amma's expertise in the kitchen, there are many who sing along with me. One among them is Athamma, who keeps asking her to make Upma as she simply loves how Amma makes.

Since I am so fixed on Menus and plans, Upma found a permanent place on our menu, for Saturday night. I know many would think of a romantic dinner for a Saturday night, I would be wanting a simpler one at times. By Upma I always mean the one with Rava and by luck, my Upmas also turn out well, so Hubby Dear welcomes that. To remove the boredom, I do keep rotating with other things. And when it comes to Upma, we wanted to try something, so came about Cabbage Upma.

Yes, I love cabbage, especially as Cabbage Moong Dal Poriyal, Cabbage Kootu, I was skeptical about it being in an upma. I am not adventurous when it comes to my taste buds. So it was with the thought that being a Food blogger, I must be open to a certain level of experimentation. Ok, only to the extent I can accept. Must say this surely passed the test as it was included in the menu.
