  1. can we prep semiya upuma first and then add curd to it?

    • Hi Rekha,

      You can do that also. But for making upma we add more oil. But for curd semiya, if you cook it and add curd, not much oil is required.

  2. Tried hands for the first time… taste was awesome and the preparation time is just 5 to thanks10 mins….thanks for the wonderful recipe
