SPICY VERMICELLI UPMA For WBB # 14

This is one more authentic breakfast dish. This is my entry to Candy's Ethnic Breakfast Event. This Weekend Blogging Event #14, created by Nandita over at the Saffron Trail. Thanks girls. Lovely event with lovely theme. For this event, this is my ethnic breakfast dish, which is related to our Andhra food. Very easy to prepare with delicious taste. Here is my recipe:


Semiya Upma:
Prep time : 5 minutes
Cooking time : 10 minutes
Serves : 2
Cuisine : Andhra

Ingredients:
2 cups Roasted vermicelli
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp Jeera
1 tsp Mustards
1 tsp urad dal
few curry leaves
1 finely chopped small onion
2 green chillies (slit them lengthwise)
2.5 cups water
salt as per taste

Method:
1. Heat oil in a kadai, add jeera and mustards, let them pop, add urad dal and curry leaves, fry for few seconds on low heat.

2. Add onions and green chillies, fry till tansparent. Then add vermicelli, fry for few seconds and add water and salt.

3. Mix, covered, cook till done. Serve with spicy groundnuts powder.


Note: 1. If you are using normal vermicelli (non-roasted) just fry for 2 minutes with 1 tsp oil. Then make the same process.

  8. I always imagined that vermicelli can be cooked as a savoury dish but I only ever had it as a sweet dish with lots of milk, raisins and spices.

  13. I love semia upma.

    But Jyothi, my understanding is that you should make a breakfast item that has ethnicity other than your own.
