Kuthiraivali Upma | Barnyard Millet Upma | Millet Recipes

Kuthiraivali Upma, Samvat upma or barnyard millet upma is easy upma recipe which is like all millet gluten-free, healthy and made vegan here. One of the quick breakfast or tiffin items has to be upma when we don't have any option upma always come as great resort. Barnyard Millets is also known as sama chawal (vrat chawal) in hindi, Kuthiravali in Tamil, Udalu in Telugu, Shyama in Bengali, Khira in Oriya, Swank in Punjabi, Kavadapullu in Malayalam, Oodalu in Kannada

Replacing regular semolina/rava with millet is good option if you look for something healthy and more filling. Millet upma is very easy to prepare just like regular upma only the water quantity changes other than that we can customize this upma for variations like making it without or with vegetables. You can also add peanuts or cashewnuts with tempering.



I added just a small pinch of turmeric powder which is normally not needed in upma so you can ignore that and that's why the upma is not in white color. You can make this for breakfast, dinner or snack. Also you can do this for lunch box but this upma taste better when served hot or warm, so keep that in mind.
