Upma-and-Sundal-Varieties

#Upma is a traditional dish of Tamil Nadu, India. It is commonly prepared for breakfast/dinner from broken rice and served with Coconut chutney. Upma can also be prepared using millet, rawa [ sooji ], semiya [ vermicelli ]. Traditionally rice upma is served with fresh coconut scrapings.

#Sundal : This is also our traditional dish prepared from roasted rice and green gram dhal. The recipe is similar to that of Rice upma but the texture is different. After cooking, the grains are well separated  just like #sundal [ stir fried legumes ]. This might be the reason that this dish got the name #RiceSundal. The roasted green gram dhal gives a nice flavor to the tiffin.
It is a well balanced food as rice gives carbohydrate and green gram dhal gives protein. The tiffan sundal can also be prepared from millet.
Just like rice upma, rice sundal is also served with fresh coconut scraping.
