This Uppittu is made using rice sevai and this is a beautiful breakfast option to start your day.
You don't have to actually bother yourself to prepare these Rice Sevai at home. You get the Rice Sevai pack, you just have to add boiling water to the sevai and keep it aside for 5 mins. Strain it and use it in any preparation of your choice.
I have used the Concord brand Rice Sevai which is easily available.
