Vermicelli Upma

  • Duration: 30 minutes
  • Serves: 2-3 people
  • Spice Level: Medium

Authenticity Slice

Traditionally, vermicelli upma is not supposed to be mushy in texture. The trick to get this upma right with its signature texture is to lightly brown the vermicelli in ghee on medium to high heat, until it is a light gold colour. This step is important to stop the vermicelli clumping together.

Trivia Tadka

There are several varieties of upma ranging from sooji, seviyan to rice rawa. Vermicelli Upma is one of the easiest breakfast or tiffin dishes that can be whipped up in no time and MTR is a pioneer in making the best-quality vermicelli.
