Oats Upma

 

Oats Upma
Have you ever tried making upma with oats? Upma, a very common and quick South Indian breakfast dish, is not very popular unlike its counterpart, the famous Masala Dosa. People either love or hate Upma. I know of many kids and adults alike who hate to hear the phrase ‘upma for breakfast’. I don’t belong to that category, though. I like to eat upma occasionally.
I have prepared numerous recipes with oats in it, especially upma varieties – plain sooji upma, rice ravva upma or wheat rava upma. You just need to give it some thought and see how you can infuse oats into the original recipe. Plain Oats Upma has always turned out to my satisfaction. My family is not too fond of upma, eat it occasionally, but when I try to serve upma with oats in it, they are more than willing to try. I’m a happy lady.

South Africa storm to dramatic win

Matt Prior's thrilling last-ditch bid to save the series, and England's world number one status, ended in a 51-run defeat against South Africa at Lord's.

SCORECARD
Prior (73) produced the most exhilarating of three England 50s but, even after his reprieve on 67 when he was called back from almost the pavilion steps after holing out off a Morne Morkel no-ball, he could not get the hosts over the line.

It was nonetheless not until he was ninth out, caught at first slip off Vernon Philander (five for 30) with the second new ball, that England were finally done - bowled out for 294, when last man Steven Finn went to the very next delivery, in pursuit of an improbable 346.

Spicy Andhra Pradesh Cuisine

Andhra Pradesh’s cuisine is probably the spiciest and hottest of all Indian cuisines. This region uses chillies and a lot of hot spices.
The cuisine is broadly classified into two categories - the more traditional original Andhra cuisine and the Hyderabadi cuisine which has Mughlai influences in it. The traditional food is the spicier one and is mostly vegetarian with the coastal areas having seafood delicacies in their regular diet. The Hyderabadi cuisine has the best of both the worlds. Among its non vegetarian delicacies are the chicken and lamb delicacies.
