About:
Upma is traditional south indian breakfast dish made from semolina (Rava)….It granular texture melts in mouth when this diesh is served hot.
Looking at the texture of cornmeal thought why not try upma; Outcome was surprising and could say tastewise it was same as Semolina but corn meal has healthy carbs, fiber and other nutrients.
Corn meal is gluten free making it a good whole grain choice for people with wheat allergies. It can be substituted for wheat in some baking items.
So try this variant upma as part of your breakfast or as an evening snack.

Health Benefits:
Oats and beans both are good sources of soluble fibre. Beans-Soluble fiber—the kind that absorbs water—is good stuff. Add it to your diet, and it will keep you regular, stabilize your blood sugar levels, and lower your cholesterol levels by preventing the absorption of artery-clogging lipids in your intestines. Plus, eating more soluble fibre is an excellent way to reduce blood-serum levels of LDL cholesterol
If you are not used to eating beans, add them into your diet gradually and drink plenty of water so the fibre can become soluble. If you eat too many too fast you can develop intestinal gas, so go slowly.
