what about adding onion in this?

what is the difference between upma and kitchadi?

Thanks for your contribution..

[oldernwiser0]

u can add tomatoes if you so prefer .. upma is basically this simple dish.. in a kichdi they add peas, cauliflower, carrots, beans, and any other suitable vegetable and make it a little more fluid than an upma....hope this clarifies thanks for your comments !
