in my native place i.e in udupi, tomato upma recipe is a popular breakfast recipe for any festival or auspicious occasions. actually it is popularly served with avalakki upkari which is commonly known as concrete in a sarcastic way. i personally like just the tomato rava upma recipe without any extra side dish too it. for me a cup of masala chai with ghee generously topped on tomato rava bath is heaven to me. where as my husband taste is quite different and he prefers to have rava kesari or poha as side dish with this.

before jumping into the actual recipe, some tips and tricks for a perfect and flavoured tomato rava upma recipe. firstly, i have roasted the rave before preparing the rava upma. while it is not mandatory and if you are running short of time you can totally skip it. roasting the rava would deny forming lumps. secondly, i have just added green chillies without any other spices. optionally you can add vangibhath masala or bisibele bath masala. lastly, you can extend this recipe by adding veggies like, carrots, capsicum, corn and even gobi. but make sure you finely chop these veggies before adding them.
