Instructions

- 8. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with spicy coconut chutney, pickle or the way my daughter likes it with sugar(Oh, I hate to eat my upma with sugar! But I see kids love to eat it that way )
Notes
- My Notes-1. Use any veggies of your choice, sweet corn, capsicum, mochaikai ..will be good options.2. Use more green chillies if you like it spicy.3. Add a dash of ghee once the upma is cooked just immediately after switching off the flame. Will enhance the flavor and taste of the dish.4. Can easily replace semiya/vermicelli with millet of your choice for very healthy options.
