This is called Semiya Upma Recipe in Hindi, In English it is called Vermicelli Upma. The main Ingredient is vermicelli. That looks like this.
This is a South Indian breakfast dish made with semolina, tempering spices, and curry leaves. I have lots of vermicelli packets at home. I usually make dessert out of them. I boil the vermicelli in hot water, and when it is cooked, I add milk and sugar, which I eat as a dessert. This time, for class purposes, I wanted to try a new kind of recipe, so I tried vermicelli Upma.
Ingredients need for vermicelli Upma:
Vermicelli packer -1
Half a teaspoon of cumin seeds
¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon urad dal
1 teaspoon chana dal
Inch of hing
Curry leaves a little
I chopped green chili

Water
Preferred vegetables
Pro tips for cooking:
It is good to buy roasted vermicelli because when it is not roasted we need to roast it at home on low flame
For thick vermicelli, the amount of water should be 11/2 cup and for thin vermicelli, it should be 11/4 cup of water
Keeping all this in mind I started cooking my vermicelli Upma. I cooked as stated in
First, I fried all the tempering ingredients like mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, and curry leaves. Once it turned a little brown I added onions and green chilli. After getting the aromatic spell of onion and tempering ingredients I added 11/2 cup of water to get it to boil. After that, I added a little bit of salt and vermicelli and stirred well so that it was all evenly in the boiling water. I closed the lid for 10 minutes and it was done. Now I know how to cook vermicelli Upma. It was very delicious to eat.
This is a very quick recipe to prepare and I also love the taste. So whenever I need a have something fresh and hot for supper I think I can make this. It was very delicious.
