KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - I’m a savory breakfast girl. You’ll never see me ordering French toast, pancakes, or waffles at brunch—I crave protein-rich eggs and vegetable sides that fill me up and keep me energized. So when my boyfriend’s mother recently offered to make me Upma, a traditional South Indian breakfast with a Cream of Wheat base, I politely declined. I assumed it would be similar to other grain breakfasts, like oatmeal, which are often sweetened with fruit, cinnamon, and sugar, and just not my thing. But you know what they say about assumptions. She insisted I try it and I’m glad she did. The Upma was fluffy but filling, and the turmeric, cumin, and onion gave it a savory kick that was just as satisfying as my usual veggie-egg scramble. Plus, the dal (lentils) and cashews added protein to the dish, so once breakfast was over I felt ready to tackle the day. She kindly shared the recipe below.
