Hi
For the week 1 of Blogging marathon, I have chosen the theme of "Course specific Regional dishes" and the region will be Karnataka..the place I was born. No matter how much you adapt yourself to your home that you are married into, yet even after many years you do crave for some simple pleasures related to your birth place. One such is a simple dish, our own upma with a masala flavour....Perfect breakfast with a hot cup of coffee
