Originally UpMa was made with semolina, but a wheat/gluten free version can be made with Quinoa or Millet. You can also add a variety of cooked vegies such as carrots, peas, cabbage and chopped cilantro etc to this recipe.  Here's another UpMa recipe video I found on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNsC1GIhT0Q
