Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Lapsi Upma
- For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies and red chili powder to your spice preference.
- If you prefer a creamier Upma, add a splash of milk or cream at the end.
- Soaking the lapsi for 15-20 minutes before cooking will reduce cooking time and improve texture.
