By Latha on March 27th, 2017
Akki uppittu or rice upuma recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Akki uppittu or rice upma is a very healthy and easy breakfast recipe. This is a vegetable rice upma. Like any other vegetable uppittu or upuma, rice upma is prepared using rice, onion, tomato, vegetables, ginger, green chili and few other spices.
You can call this upma or uppittu as ricebath as well. Because it is prepared like rice bath but the recipe is similar to vegetable uppittu or upma recipe. I would say this is a alternate for rave uppittu or rava upma haters. Since it is prepared using rice and is pressure cooked, it tastes different than regular rava upma.
Uppittu or upma is a very healthy food and you can find rave uppittu or rava upuma, shavige uppittu or vermicelli upuma and Godi kadi uppittu or broken wheat upuma recipes on our website.
