DALIA UPMA (WHEAT RAVA UPMA)

2 years ago when my princess has arrived in my life, I did not realise that how my life will be after 2 years. Time has passed and I enjoyed a lot my motherhood and still enjoying but during this I did not realise that my enjoyment made me to forget about my health. I have put up 20 kegs extra weight during this time.



It was first time for me when my husband told that I should take care of me and my health. Then the same day I have decided that I will come back to same shape again. I joined gym the very next day and started having 1000 calorie diet every day. Today I am writing down a recipe which I am having alternate day and believe me it is very effective. It is nothing else but very common dish i.e., Wheat Rava Upma or called as kichadi also. So here is diet version of my upma but healthy people may increase fat quantity in this by adding more oil or ghee in this.
