Mandakki oggarne (karnataka style puffed rice upma)
#risenshine
Mandakki Oggarne is a unique upma from Karnataka, made using puffed rice and can be prepared quickly in 10 minutes flat! Generally upma, is made using semolina. But, once can find some more varieties of upma made from bread, leftover chapatis, vermicelli, etc.
The ingredients and method of cooking it are the same as that of semolina upma, except that some roasted peanuts are added to it. In this recipe, I have preferred adding jaggery for sweetness, but the same can be substituted by sugar or for people with health issues, with stevia!
