Semiya upma / Vermicelli upma is a simple and quick recipe which can be served as breakfast/ dinner. Semiya upma is an instant and basic upma with only handful ingredients in the making, does not require much of cutting work or time to prepare. Though i dont like semiya/ vermicelli i make this recipe only for my hubby as he is a big fan of it. This upma tastes best when served with coconut chutney and sambar. For the below recipe i have used roasted vermicelli, but if you are using unroasted semiya/ vermicelli dry roast it in a pan in medium flame and then make upma. So lets get to the making!
