Notes
Using of coconut oil enhances the taste.
There is a brass vessel called urili and my grandma used to make this upma in that instead of pressure cooker.It will give a nice roast of upma at the bottom in that method.
Make sure the upma mixture doesn't have any lumps.
Grind the mixture coarsely.
