If you are bored of making the regular Poha Upma, then you should check this recipe. I had made this once few months back. Usually I add grated carrots to poha upma to make it more healthier and colourful. That day, I didn’t have carrots. I had some left over grated raw mango. So, I just added that and nads the upma. And thank God, it came out very well and my family loved it.

Today, I it again for breakfast. My family enjoyed the spicy, chatpata mango poha upma very much. Hope you all would like it too:)
