Vermicelli Upma / Semiya Upma is an easy breakfast dish and also a great lunch box dish for the kids. We can make a plain upma or enrich it with healthy vegetables. Semiya Upma and Rava Upma are two simple yet healthy breakfast without much planning. Whenever I run out of Idli/Dosa batter or unexpected guests, we can make Semiya or Rava Upma quickly and easily. My kids always love this upma and call this as Noodles upma. We can make variety of nice recipes with Vermicelli.
SEE Also : Other Vermicelli Recipes –  Vermicelli Pulao, Vermicelli Biryani, Thayir Semiya, Vermicelli Cutlet, Vermicelli Sooji Bhat, Semiya Kesari and semiya Payasam.

Tips for making Semiya Upma:

  • If you are not getting Roasted Semiya in the market, no worries – you just need to dry roast the semiya till you get a nice aroma and the color change to light brown color. If its not fried, then the semiya will stick to each other while cooking and the final Upma will not be fluffy.
  • We can make it simple only with onion. Adding other Vegetables are optional. I usually add onion, carrots, beans and green peas if available.
  • The usual ratio of  Semiya  and Water  to make Semiya Upma is 2:1. Roasted vermicelli sometimes need lesser water. So you might want to adjust the water quantity accordingly
  • Alternate method to make Semiya Upma –  We can cook the semiya first along with salt like we do for noodles and strain the cooked water and  wash it in running water. This way all the stickiness will go off and we can just mix the the cooked semiya with the cooked veggies and serve!
