Another healthy snack cum breakfast recipe. I learnt it from my mom and then added a few variations of my own. However that perfect taste of upma prepared by mom still lingers on my tongue!
I have used home made sevai here although vermicelli available in grocery store also makes the upma equally tasty. My son think of it as noodles and eats it very happily. I also add his favorite carrots to make it healthy and tempting :)
It takes a bit of time so not a good idea to prepare it while you are in hurry.
Ingredients-
1) 3 cups sevai/vermicelli
2) 2 tbsp finely chopped carrots; you can also add beans, cauliflower etc
3) 1 medium sized onion finely chopped
4) 7-8 leaves of kadhipatta
5) 2 tbsp green peas
6) 1 green chilly chopped
7) Coriander leaves for garnishing
8) 3 tbsp oil
9) 1/4 tsp each of cumin and mustard seeds
10) 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
11) 1 tsp salt
12) 1 1/2 cup water
Recipe-
1) Add 1 tbsp oil in a kadhai. Once it is warm, add vermicelli and roast till it is slightly brown.
3) Fry the onions till it turns translucent and then add green peas and carrots along with a pinch of turmeric and cover the kadhai for a minute.
6) Add boiling water over it, mix well and then cover for 2 minutes.
Remove the lid, mix again and add chopped coriander leaves. Vermicelli upma is ready to eat :)
