    Priya,
    To be honest, I am not really sure, but no harm in trying.

    hi mullai,
    can we use chicken meat instead of goat meat?

      hi Priya,

      I have tried it with chicken, curry chicken, sliced & fried sausage (sometimes without frying), tuna flakes, boiled eggs (also sometimes i cut into two). Sometimes I use all together. I also add egg beaten with salt & pepper – a min before adding rawa.  We add fried valakkai or brinjal as well. A teaspoon of mysore dhal also give different taste. You can add 1 or 2 table spoon of sauce even into the boiling water if tomato is not available. We students make different uppma like this as its not time consuming also fills stomach.
