Kuthiraivali upma /Barnyard Millet Upma



Now a days millets are so common and many varieties of recipes are available in blogosphere.I too find kuthiraivali aka barnyard millet in Indian stores sold under the name Samo.Its widely used in North India and mostly eaten on fasting days.My blogger buddies Priya Srinivasan and Varada helped to confirm samo is barnyard millet.
According to Wiki there are other names to identify these seeds include Jhangora in Garhwal hills,Moria,Mario,Bhagar.
This millet tastes more like rice so I tried sweet pongal and upma out of it,will share the pongal recipe soon.
Coming to the upma I exactly followed the recipe how we make the arisi upma.My mom adds a small tomato for the rice upma so I tried it with tomato.This upma can be made without onion and tomato,off to the recipe....................................
