Semiya upma is one of the easiest and instant breakfast recipes.I usually make this upma adding vegetables and sometimes with tomato,onions alone for guests along with
idli or
poori.Mostly I use Anil semiya(fine variety) and very rarely i go for MTR or Bambino as they are thick.I feel thick vermicelli would go well for
Semiya biryani/Pulao more than upma.Usually the ratio of semiya & water would be 1:1.5 for fine vermicelli and 1: 2 for thick variety.Always add the correct water quantity to get soft and non-sticky vermicelli strands.It doesn’t need more oil like rava upma.Yet it tastes great.Sometimes i pack this for Raksha’s lunch box too.She loves it very much.Bachelors can try this recipe for breakfast.Ur job will become much easier in busy mornings
