Tomato upma
Most of my recipes are my moms recipes. This is one of her recipes for which she was asked by many friends to show them how to cook it. The way she makes is very creamy and full of awesomeness. If you make in any other oil, the taste will surely differ. We south Indians prefer to make use of coconut oil...one of the secret to our slim body and long healthy hair ..
