These quinoa and vegetable upma fritters offer a clever twist on a familiar breakfast dish. The tempering brings depth, the vegetables add bite, and the grains provide a light, nutty flavour that turns crisp once fried. They’re great for lunchboxes and busy evenings because they stay firm, reheat well, and taste satisfying even without heavy sides.
