Chickpea Upma

This is a healthy breakfast. I have added many vegetables. Based on your tongue twist, you can add your favorite vegetables to prepare this yummy dish.          

Normally my son does not like to have chickpea if it is simply boiled. So I just made this simple dish and he had it completely. Hope it will work out for your kids too. If you wish you spread egg podimas on top of the dish. Enjoy!!!
