Notes
My kids love semiya upma because I used to add Masala-E-Magic so they find it very similar to Maggii. And, I prefer Semiya Upma for my kids because I add so many vegetables in it. So, Semiya Upma recipe is a combination of taste with health. If you are on diet, then also this is a very healthy and tasty option for you.
Points to take care:-
- Firstly, roasting the vermicelli is a very important step. You can skip it if you have already roasted vermicelli.
- Secondly, please don't skip adding curry leaves because they add a very nice flavour to Semiya Upma.
- Thirdly, don't overcook the vegetables, otherwise, you will miss the crunchiness of the vegetables.
- Additionally, you can add vegetables of your choice.
- Lastly, add water in exact proportion.
