This iron, folic acid and vitamin b12 rich upma is much more nutritious than plain semolina upma. Vegetarian diets are deficient in vitamin b12, but soya and its by products are an excellent vegetarian source of this vitamin, which is very important for mums-to-be, especially during the first trimester. Soya granules provide plenty of protein, energy and calcium too. Soya granules are smaller version of nuggets. To add to this carrots abound in vitamin a while lemon juice provides good vitamin c.
Method- Soak the soya granules in hot water for approximately 15 minutes. Drain, squeeze out all the water and keep aside.
