Notes
- You can use corn, too.
- When you need an Upma without onion, add cabbage instead of onion. I suggest cooking the other veggies first before adding the cabbage.
- You can add capsicums or bell peppers. Since we do not like them cooked, I add them with the rava, in the end. You can add them with the carrots and the cauliflower if you desire.
