Rajiv Dear, some of your recipes are good, but as a south Indian I want to let you know that We dont add Garlic for any kind of UPMA. add more cashews and lemon juice should be added at the time of serving. pls check my recipe for this.

This is not the traditional upma- which is sans garlic,lemon juice.The ingredients needs to be reviewed what does "1 no cashews" mean?
