Atukula Upma/Avalakki/Poha

This upma comes under the category of my comfort breakfast.It is so easy to prepare which hardly takes 15 mins for the over all process to be done.I prepare this atleast once a week and especially when no breakfast is planned in advance or i get up late this is very handy for me.We prepare different variations of this upma like gojju avalakki(made up of tamarind), coconut avalakki which i will try to blog later.Now comes to the recipe of this simple and easy recipe of poha.
