Another popular South Indian tiffin recipe that can be prepared within few minutes. Cooking Vermicelli can be slightly tricky but once you get the right texture, Upma tastes heavenly
Boil water in a sauce pan. Add a pinch of salt and less than a teaspoon of oil
Once it comes to rolling boil, add Vermicelli to it
In approximately 8-10 minutes you can see the vermicelli is almost 80% cooked
Drain the water and wash it in cold water to prevent Vermicelli from further cooking and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. In the meantime lets prepare the veggie mixture
Heat oil in a Kadai. Add Mustard seeds, Urad dal and Channa Dal. Let them splutter
Add curry leaves, slit green chilli, onions,ginger and tomato. Saute for a minute or two in medium flame
Once onions become slightly pink in color add salt, turmeric powder
Add little water just to soften the veggies and once the tomatoes are cooked, add the vermicelli
Use a fork and mix everything well
Adjust salt
Close the pan, turn the flame to low and let the Vermicelli get cooked for 5 minutes
Serve Upma with Chutney or sugar. I like to eat ti with my leftover curries from previous night 🙂 Here is a pic of my simple Semiya Upma with Paneer gravy
