Coconut Flavored Rice Upma Recipe is a tangy and spicy coconut flavored upma. This is one of the most Andhra style favorite recipe to all members of my family and friends. It tastes heavenly on a monsoon evening, when served with some raw onions, chutney and curd. The extra flavour of coconut oil along with fresh coconut adds more taste to the dish. Children love the roasted flavour of upma.
