Masal Upma

Masal Upma is a breakfast dish made with a mix of sooji (Rava) , vermicelli and vegetables. This has wonderful aroma and taste with veggies unlike the normal vermicelli upma or sooji (Rava) upma or rice upma or aval upma etc.,
My mom used to do Rava kitchadi (famous in Tamil Nadu ), Almost similar to masal upma.
I learnt this from my mother-in-law, who is a great cook.
This dish need no side but, can be served with coconut chutney , pickle.
