This upma is made with rice flour and tamarind. This upma is served with coconut (thengai) thuvaiyal.

You can also make “Moor Kali” also known as “Moor Koozh” in the same way as above, but instead of tamarind water, use two cups buttermilk and prepare using the same directions below, with these exceptions. Use “Mor Milagai” instead of red chillies and omit turmeric powder.
