Upma is a typical South Indian breakfast dish made by seasoning rava (semolina). The hard part of the wheat is ground to make semolina. Good pasta is made from this because it contains the needed gluten. In Malayalam, it is called rava, and in Hindi suji. It is a good source of vitamin E, vitamin B, and minerals such as phosphorus, zinc, and magnesium.
