    Semiya / Sevia / Vermicelli Upma is our staple. We make it atleast once in a week for breakfast. This is our go to recipe, since it needs just few spices and ingredients. It is a basic recipe, sometimes we add veggies in them, i have quite a few variation of this upma in my blog. Make sure you check them all.
