This version of Puffed rice upma is popularly sold as street food in many rural places in Rayalaseema area. The usual combination is Uggani, Mirchi Bajji and Nannari.
For a long time I was under the impression that Puffed Rice Upma and Uggani are the same. Recently I came to know that the basic version of puffed rice upma is typically called Uggani. The name differs according to the region as well.
