Semiya Upma is my favourite break fast dish. I cook it very often specially on Holidays when I want to prepare something very fast and Delicious for my hubby and kid. My preparation for upma is little different as I don't fry or roast the Vermicelli and I add vegetables always available like Carrot, green peas, Capsicum, beans etc to make it more nutritious. It take very less time to cook. I like to eat it with Tomato Sauce or Pickles.
Ingredients:
200 gms. Semiya (Vermicelli)
1 Large Onion (Chopped)
1 Carrot (Chopped)
1 Capsicum (Cut lengthwise)
10 gms. Peanut (Roasted)
10 gms. Green peas
3 to 4 whole red chilis
1/2 tsp.Mustard seeds
1 /2 Cumin seeds
1 tsp. turmeric powder
1/2 tsp. red chili powder
Curry Leaves
Salt
Sugar
Coriander leaves
Cucumber (chopped)
Method:
1. Heat water in a pan. When the water starts boiling put the vermicelli into it. After 2 minutes when the vermicelli becomes soft pour the content of pan into a strainer (Don't over cook the vermicelli otherwise it will get sticky) to strain out the water. Now hold the strainer under running cold water so that vermicelli becomes cold then it will not stick to one another. Keep it aside.
2. Heat Oil in a nonstick pan. Add Red Chili, Cumin seeds and mustard seeds and finally curry leaves. When mustard starts spluttering add Chopped onion. Fry onion until becomes golden brown. Now add Carrot, Capsicum, green peas and roastedPeanut, Saute all the vegetables for about 5 minutes. Add turmeric powder, Chili powder and Salt. Stir again. Now add the Vermicelli and stir fry it for 5 to 6 minutes. Add little bit of sugar and finally chopped coriander.
Serve hot with tomato sauce and chopped Cucumber spread over it.
