SOYA UPMA
Whip up this nutritive upma that is loaded with vegetables and is also much more nutritious than plain semolina upma. Soya bean granules are smaller version of nuggets. If you are using nuggets instead of granules, chop them into really small pieces after boiling them.
Vegetarian diets are deficient in Vitamin B12, but soyabean and its by products are an excellent vegetarian source of this vitamin. Soya granules and nuggets provide plenty of protein, energy and calcium too. Lemon juice provides good vitamin C and also aids the absorption of iron from food.
