Broccoli Upma / Broccoli semolina porridge / Detoxification breakfast bowl

Upma is a very popular breakfast of specially southern Indian people but now a days all the people of India are making this more often.

According to the definition of nutrition white or plain dish doesn’t contains much nutrition, there has to be lots of different colors in the dish you are eating and specially when it comes to breakfast. Broccoli upma is my attempt to make our most often breakfast nutritious as compare to the traditional one. Addition of broccoli to the upma is not just giving it a color but it gives new flavor to your mundane breakfast.

As you all already know the benefits of broccoli so let’s change the way we eat for our better health.
