What you called grits in telugu ? I want to try this upma . Where can we buy ? Thanks, anu. <i>Indira replies: Hi Anu, I have already added a link under grits in ingredient list. Check it out to know about grits. If you live in US, they are avialable in most of the regular US grocery chain shops. Checkout the cereal isle. I don't know its Telugu name but they are prepared by coarsely grinding the dried out corn kernels (mokka jonna pottulu). Hope this helps. If you try this grits upma, let me know how you like them. Thanks.</i> Hello Indira.

Mika... grits upma taste is similar in lines with rice ravva upma, a very different taste from that of wheat ravva upma. Give it a try, I'm sure you're going to like it. Vallika... Thanks! What I do for crisp kind of upma is - 1. add less water(you are doing that already) and two is, after adding the ravva, after about 2 or 4 minutes later, I remove the lid, cook it openly. Too much stirring after adding the rava also makes it more sticky soggy kind. Add ravva, stirring continuously, after that, leave it alone on low heat. It'll come out nice and crispy. Hope you find these tips helpful. Good ideas, Sam. Thanks for sharing them with us. Hello BDSN… please give it a try and see how you like them.

I sometimes vary it by adding peas/finely chopped or grated carrots, finely chopped tomatoes. I have also added defrosted frozen spinach and added little bit more water to make it creamy but added the ginger,onion etc. The possibilites with grits are endless.

The method is same as the rava upma I make. Did you notice any difference in taste? Indira- that is a nice idea to use grits in upma. The method is same as the rava upma I make.
