Vermicelli upma is a easy go to breakfast idea in many home. It is quick to make and taste delicious as well. Why not try this ragi semiya upma instead of regular ones. These are delicious and is so healthy. The main thing is, you have to be little careful when cooking it, if you add too much water, then the whole upma will become one big gloop.. But the method i am showing is fool proof and you can never mess with it.

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 15 to 20 mins
Serves : 4

Ragi Semiya / Finger Millet Vermicelli - 1 packet around 200 grams
Water around 1.5 cup
Onion - 1 medium size chopped finely
Green Chillies - 2 chopped finely
Carrots - 1 large chopped finely
Beans - 6 finely chopped
Capsicum - ½ chopped finely
Salt to taste
Coriander Leaves - 3 tblspn finely chopped
For Seasoning:
Olive Oil - 2 tsp

Add in onions, green chillies and saute for a min.
Add in all chopped vegetables and saute it for 5 mins.
Now add in salt and mix well.
Add in semiya and mix well. Roast it in the oil for 2 min.
Now start sprinkling the water and keep tossing. Cook on a low heat. I sprinkled around 1.5 cup of water. You may need less as the variety of semiya you are using. You can cover the kadai with a lid and cook it on a low heat. Taste and check whether it is cooked.
Add in coriander leaves and fluff it up. Serve with chutney.
