You know, I've never even thought about breakfasts from different cultures and countries.. I only think about dinner... Now I realise I've been missing out on a whole other group of foods! :)

Ann - wanted to mention one more thing that I am unable to read ur posts in my dashboard as well as in the blog roll list though I have it updated many times... check out whether it is the problem only with me or check Pooja's site to know more about it http://myexperiencewithcooking.blogspot.com/2009/05/be-aware-of-this-technical-issue.html
Upma really looks delicious..m hungry now!!!
Very interesting! Breakfast has always been my most boring meal of the day. Since I don't like eggs, it's either cereal, a bagel, or a smoothie. I'm going to make this when everyone else is eating omelets!
Ann - started to get the updates from today :D

I've never tried semolina... looks like a glutinous sort of grain.
Its Yummy...I never use termeric for upma.Looks great...
Hi Ann, the upma looks so delicious. For some reason, I have never been able to get the proportion of water right - my upma is either too dry or too watery.
Your recipe helps.
