Avarekalu Uppittu is a much favoured breakfast in Karnataka during winters, when Avarekalu (Hyacinth Beans or Surti Papdi) is available in plenty. This traditional dish can be best described as Upma with Aarekalu.The beans lend this dish a nice crunchy texture and a subtle flavour.While this recipe uses Semolina, you can also use Rice Rava (coarsely ground rice). That would make this vegan dish a gluten-free one as well.
