Vermicelli (Semiya) Upma/ Shavige Uppittu



vermicelli upma semiya upma


Ingredients:
  • 2 cups  vermicelli/ semiya/ shavige ( I use this Bambino variety)
  • ½ cup onion (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup peas (shelled)
  • ¼ cup carrot (chopped finely)
  • ¼ cup potato (peeled and chopped finely)
  • 2-3 green chillies ( finely chopped )
  • 4-5 curry leaves
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp urad daal
  • Juice of a lemon
  • Cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup broken cashew (optional)
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp Oil
  • Salt

Method:
  • Please read the notes above before proceeding.
  • Heat 1 tsp of oil in pan over medium heat and add the vermicelli. Keep stirring the mixture until the vermicelli turns pale brown. Transfer to plate and keep aside.
  • In the same pan now heat 1 Tbsp oil. Add mustard seeds, urad dal and mix until the urad daal turns light brown in color.
  • Add the chopped onion and green chillies.  After the onion has cooked a little add the chopped carrots, potatoes and peas and keep stirring. (Since the vegetables are chopped finely, they will cook fast.)
  • Add salt and little bit more oil if necessary and stir continuously.
  • Add 3 cups of water to this and let it come to boil. At this point check for seasoning. It is better to have the correct taste at this time.
  • Add the roasted vermicelli to this, stir, turn the heat to medium and cover with a lid.
  • After 5 minutes stir again and now partially cover the pan until the water has all absorbed. Turn off the heat.
  • Lastly garnish with lemon juice, chopped cilantro and cashew pieces. Keep the lid covered for another 5-10 minutes. Stir again and serve hot.
