Mappillai samba aval is nutrient-dense and rich food choice. As most of you know I totally avoid any processed/packed foods I have always chosen rice flakes/millet flakes over corn flakes/oats. The millet flakes and rice flakes are more local and way more healthy. I was almost full with just half a portion of my usual quantity with the below aval upma.

Ingredients:

Mappillai samba is a diabetic-friendly rice variant and so is the flakes. The poha improves haemoglobin in the blood and cures anaemia.
