How to make Semiya Upma

Vegetable Semiya Upma or Vermicelli Upma is one of a popular and easy to do breakfast recipe in TamilNadu, when u got bored of the usual Idli, dosa or pongal. Vermicelli is similar to pasta kind of a dish. During my childhood days I do not eat dishes prepared with Semiya except semiya payasam. My friend compelled me to try when I went to her house and after the taste I started liking it and now it is one of our regular breakfast item.

Good use to the semiya. I only know of it into payasam thus what a discovery on what else can be done with semiya.

A great opening for a healthy morning meal or in fact, perfect for a dinner meal too.
