I love upma with banana ... Ya, not a regular combination. But, this combination works great for me ... Infact, one of the reason for me liking upma is having Upma with Banana... Just smash a ripe banana with the upma and relish ...

Enjoy your upma ...

Tips:

1. Try the same recipe with Semiya ... Semiya Upma...
2. If you dont have small onions, use Big Onions. Small Onions just give a unique and excellent taste.
