When I hear the words rava upma I always find it hilarious and the credit goes to my hubby because when he made rava upma for the very first time and I packed it for lunch during my college days and i with lot of expectations and hunger tried to taste it and the spoon seemed not to come out of the upma ,Instantly my friends started commenting that we could use this for any strike that would happen in college in the future and the jokes about the upma continued for the whole recess. I m so fortunate to have him in my life that he made attempt to fill my tummy .So lets make a good one now!
