Instant Rava Upma Mix

A few days back I saw an instant upma mix in the Asian grocery shop and that’s when I decided to make it at home for our camping night out.

I kept all easy to prepare things for the camping night and this instant upma mix came really handy for a warm comforting breakfast after a long cold night out.

Since then I started keeping a ziplock bag of this instant upma mix in my refrigerator, and frankly, it is a real bliss even when you are not traveling or camping.

When those sudden hunger pangs bite you and you have nothing to cook or say no energy to stand and prepare a meal just add some boiling water and this upma is ready to eat.

    Wow Sapana! That’s great! Infact I’m looking for all premix recipes these days as my son is going to Canada next month and I want to pack as many premixes as I can to make things easier for him. So this is surely going to be an addition to the list

    I make this mixture a day before making masala idli or upma. Really a great instant mix to keep handy. Looking tempting to make now.

  7. Hello – I just made the mix this evening. Do I just divide the batch into 6 equal portions? And is it 2 cups per each portion?

    Thank you
    Amy
