Tomato quinoa upma recipe, Quinoa upma recipe

Tomato quinoa upma is one such healthy and delicious preparation that requires very less time for its making and also demands those basic ingredients from kitchen still resulting in a unique flavored dish. Tomato quinoa upma  can be served as breakfast for any age group due to its health benefits. I usually prepare quinoa in many varieties and make it flavorful for easy consumption as the grain itself has no taste. This tomato quinoa upma is mildly spicy, slightly tangy as tomato being dominant factor and little nutty and crunchy due to quinoa. If you are looking for any unique flavored dish filled with taste and health and something to fit in your diet routine this recipe should get along the list. So lets get to the making!
