4. On a low to medium ?ame, roast them well until lightly golden. If vermicelli is not roasted well, upma
turns sticky. Do not burn, keep stirring.

5. While the vermicelli gets roasted, to a small pot add 1 ¾ cups water if using thick variety or 1 cups
water if using thin variety. Add salt and taste it. It should be slightly salty. Bring this to a boil. You can do
it on the stove or in a microwave.
6. Pour the hot water to the vermicelli and stir immediately to prevent lumps.

9. Towards the end, I like to add lemon juice, grated coconut and chopped coriander leaves to the
vermicelli upma. This is optional. Allow semiya upma to cool down a bit and then ?u8 up.

Serve semiya upma, with pickle or podi.

Method 2 – vegetable semiya upma recipe with step by


step photos
This method of making vermicelli upma though takes 5 to 7 minutes more to prepare than the 5rst
method, this is healthy one since veggies are included and can be packed for the lunch box.
 
1. Dry roast 1 cup vermicelli on a medium ?ame until they turn slightly golden. Transfer this to a plate.

2. Add 1.5 tbsp. oil to a hot pan, add half tsp cumin, half tsp mustard, half tbsp each of chana and urad

dal. Fry until the dal turns lightly golden. Dals can be skipped.

3. Add curry leaves and slit or chopped green chili as desired.

4. Add 3/4 to 1 cup 5nely chopped vegetables and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. I use carrots, onion, beans
and green peas.

9. Cook on a medium high ?ame till all the water is absorbed.

Hi Swati, wonderful recipe. Tried for the 5rst time, it was yum. One question here, what
can be done to reduce the salty taste. Otherwise it is so simple to follow. I have tried
before but this time it was cooked perfect. Thank you

Hi shivani,
To 5x a salty semiya upma, you can add few tbsps of grated fresh coconut or little
ghee or lemon juice. Or just cook plain semiya and mix with this. My mum makes a
plain seasoned chilli yogurt as a side to 5x salty semiya. An uncommon combo,
but goes well. Thanks for rating the recipe
