Upma is a salty porridge of sorts that has slowly but steadily, grown in popularity all over the nation .
Made of semolina, broken wheat , vermicelli, bread , etc , it is a heartwarming dish on a cold Monday morning , when life appears forbidding , and the spirits are as down as dew drop covered grass . It warms hearts , fills bellies and tiffin boxes , and brings good cheer to grumpy people.
It is easy to make, therefore manifesting promptly on dining table before people can utter " no breakfast".
Some , arguing against, would say it is a humble, peasant dish , with nothing great about it .
It has been however, seen , like a chameleon, to take on the hues of its surroundings. One may find it , ghee - slick , studded with dry fruits glistening with loaded calories at a wedding feast ( for instance) . Or , in the Spartan company of rustic vegetables .
What one craves on a rainy cold evening , however ,is the plainest , almost grey ( echoing the sky outside) version with minimal accompaniments , but with warmth ample enough to keep the sun glowing in your heart.
