Vermicelli Upma

Vermicelli Upma a popular south indian breakfast and north Indian appetizer/snack.Loaded with vegetables and tempered with kadi patta / curry leaves and mustard seeds is a light but filling snack.

vermicelli upma

Also know as Semiya Upma, is a adaptation form the popular south indian breakfast recipe of Upma. Upma traditionally made from semolina and cooked with various vegetables is a healthy as well as easy to digest breakfast recipe.In this recipe we make it with vermicelli.

This recipe may have originated in the south of India, but equally loved in most parts of the country. Cook it with you favorite preferred vegetables and enjoy a lovely breakfast.

Its good to keep your weekly menu of breakfast fresh and rich with healthy breakfast options.Keeping your breakfast options varied keeps it interesting and also rich in nutrition. You can even plan a weekly menu,like we plan and it also helps me to keep the Kids Lunch box ideas interesting and welcome by my fussy eaters. Here are a few ideas: Beetroot Burgers ,      Mushroom Baby corn Poha ,  Broccoli poha Idli ,   Hash brown Fried eggs with garlic cheese,    Sabudana ,  Kadi Parantha ,    Wholewheat Broccoli Parantha/Flatbread with Flax seeds  & seasme and beetroot curd ,   Italian Parantha ,      Sweetpotato Bread.  

 

My kids and family loves it. I like semolina Upma and vermicelli Upma both likewise. You can add as many vegetables as you wish. My personal favorite are potato , carrot, beans, green peas onion and for the lovely crunch fried peanuts too. These days i add roasted seeds like  sunflower seeds and flax seeds too.I just dont feel by breakfast complete with the seeds added to it.But if you dont like the addition of seeds then please omit. Its completely optional. So try this amazing breakfast and do share you views in the comments below. Your comments inspire me to think and churn fresh new ideas and recipes.
