Masala Upma

This dish is a recipe from Mr. Parveez. As I have mentioned in my other write ups that Mr. Parveez is a fabulous cook and he just doesn’t cook food from the recipes passed on by his family, but some of the recipes have been his own invention. The best part is that none of the recipes are like those “Bachelor Recipes”, in fact they are some super great dishes which make to the table when the lady of the house, that is “me” needs to be treated royal and get my days off. I always enjoy and look forward to those days.

So, this particular recipe happens to be one of his best dishes ever. I have always loved it and look forward to days when he makes it. This Masala upma goes best with Sambhar. Though this dish is best for breakfast, but we love it for light dinner as well.
