Semiya upma is one of the easy and comforting food. i love them for some reason, my mom makes great semiya upma but she never measures the amount of water or semiya added but it comes out perfecto every single time she makes it. i decided to provide the exact amount of ingredients here as it may be helpful for everyone who makes it. my upma is never plain as i add some veggies to it to make it healthier...
Lets get to the recipe...
Ingredients
Roasted Vermicelli / Semiya 1 cup
Water 2 cups
Onion 1 chopped
Green Chilli 2 cut into 1 inch pieces
Garlic 4 cloves crushed and chopped
Ginger paste or 1 inch piece crushed
Salt to taste
Veggies 1 cup (i used carrots this time but you can add carrot, beans, peas or capsicum)
Roasted Peanuts (optional, But i recommend as it gives a great taste and crunch to the dish)
For Tempering
Oil 1 tbsp
Mustard Seeds 1 tsp
Urad Dal 1 tsp
Channa Dal 1 tsp
Curry Leaves 2 springs
Method
In a non stick pan add the oil and other seasoning ingredients to it and let it splutter.
Now add the chopped veggies, onion, garlic, ginger and green chilli and fry for 5 mins, then add the water and bring to boil.
Once the water starts to boil add the semiya / vermicelli to the boiling water and mix well so no lumps are formed.
Dont simmer and let it cook in a high flame for 8 to 10 mins (semiya cooks faster so simmering will make it mushy)
By now all the water will be absorbed and the semiya will be cooked well, fluff it up with a fork and sprinkle the roasted peanut and mix, serve hot with some Red Chilli Pickle as i did or serve with some Coconut Chutney.
