Uggani (Spicy Puffed Rice)

Uggani is a famous breakfast of Rayalseema region of Andhra Pradesh and typically served along with Mirchi Bajji(Chilli Fritters). Uggani is a variation of regular Upma(spicy semolina breakfast) made with Puffed Rice. Puffed rice is also know as Borugulu, mur-murey in parts of india. 
We use THICK puffed rice variety, as when we soak it in water it won't become mushy. This THICK puffed rice will spring back when you squeeze water out of it.
