Ragi Semiya Upma | How to make Ragi Vermicelli Upma | Healthy Ragi Recipes | Easy Ragi Recipes

I am not a big fan of ragi flour dishes  other than Ragi Koozh. Actually I have a love hate relationship with Ragi. Sometimes I start cooking Ragi Dosa, Ragi upma, Ragi Puttu etc... and after sometime I start hating it. I don't why. Poor Ragi. Now again I started my liking towards Ragi and planned to prepare different recipes using this ingredient. So I start with this easy and spicy Ragi Semiya Upma.

How to make Semiya Upma (Vermicelli Upma) | Breakfast Recipes | Upma Recipes

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.
