Aval Upma

Aval upma is my hubby's favourite breakfast menu.  Very simple to make & taste great.  I like to serve this dish with coconut chutney.   Only during weekends, I like to cook exclusive south indian dishes from day beginning to end.   Every time, I plan to wake little early to make really perfect breakfast varieties.  But I finally end up in the simple & easy dishes... !!! it will be almost the lunch time :)
