Vermicelli Upma
I make this upma quite often, I already have this recipe posted here, but it is not step by step. I wanted to share a step by step version of this here and finally i am up with it. I already have a tomato semiya bhath and vegetable semiya bhath recipe.

I have tried this upma twice and it was a instant hit in my family. I have also tried the Murg Malai Kabab, French toast roll ups - all came out tasty and perfect. Love the way you detail out your recipes. The pictorials are really useful. You have some great recipes here.
