Betel Leaves Dalia Upma- Healthy, tasty, and aromatic broken wheat rava upma with betel leaves. Betel leaves are called as tamalapaaku in Telugu / Paan Ka patha in Hindi/ vetrilai in Tamil. Usually, betel leaves are used in prayers and religious ceremonies. It is also be eaten in the form of "paan" which is very popular all over India. Paan is taken after the lunch/dinner, betel leaves coned with gulkand, coconut, cherry, and supari along with edible chuna.

Betel leaves have many health benefits, it has full of Vitamins like Vitamin C, Thiamine, Niacin, Riboflavin, and carotene are great sources of calcium. It is an excellent instant relief from pain, an antiseptic, and a breath freshener. These leaves are used when suffering from cold, cough, and body pains.

We use to have more betel leaves at the time pf puja like varalakshmi vratam or Satyanarayana vratam. After the puja is done, the very next day we use the remaining betel leaves by making simple paan at home with dry coconut, fennel seeds, cardamom, clove, cashews, and raisin or we prepare betel leaves bajji, upma, or rasam. But here am sharing the upma recipe done with broken wheat rava to make the recipe more healthy. Here I used broken wheat rava instead of regular rava/bombay rava. While preparing itself it smells super, even the taste of the upma is super good. But the people with first time make face different taste and smell but, after having spoons will surely like the recipe.

In this recipe, I used betel leaves along with the fresh wet coconut to cut down some taste and smell of the leaves. Here I used peanuts if the one who doesn't like the peanuts can go with cashews.

Finally, I want to highlight some of my healthy recipes like,
