This Oats Upma recipe is very easier to make, which does not consume much of your busy morning timings. Researchers ask to go for fiber-rich food for the breakfast, which keeps you active throughout the day.

This is one such recipe which gives enough fiber and energy for the remaining day.

Oats Upma can be made in any type of oats whether it is quick, ready-made oats or old fashioned rolled out oats. If you are planning to make upma from quicker oats, then reduce the amount of water from the ingredients list.

Today I went with rolled oats, as I felt it gives out great texture for every bite. Keeping it in the low flame, and stirring occasionally give out the best result for the texture and the taste.
