Majjige uppittu recipe | How to make buttermilk or curd upma
By Latha on December 30th, 2022
Majjige uppittu or buttermilk upma recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is a very tasty uppittu or curd upma recipe. Using majjige (buttermilk or curd) in uppittu or upma gives a unique taste. Majjige uppittu is prepared using roasted rava, onion, capsicum, green peas, green chilli, buttermilk, coriander leaves, grated coconut and a big fat tempering.
This majjige uppittu or upma just melts in your mouth. A small change in the recipe makes it tastier as compared to the regular upma. I would say this is a must try recipe. And this post is special for me as this is the last recipe of the year 2022.
There are two types of shavige bath or lemon shavige uppittu in practice. One is this with tomato and roasted vermicelli and the other one is with lemon juice and without roasting the vermicelli. The ingredients are almost similar to rave uppittu or semolina upma, which I have posted earlier. But the recipe is slightly different. This is the same uppittu or upuma recipe, which is used to prepare thick rava upuma or broken wheat upuma.
