I only add a a little bit of lime juice to the same recipe along with sugar it tastes better because of the tangy taste

hi
usually my upma becomes soggy.. will u keep the heat in simmer while u add hot water to vermicilli.. Because when i add 1/2 cup water i feel its nOt cooked enough..

Shilpa: Yes, keep it on simmer. Also, fry it well before making upma, that avoids sogginess.

Dear Shilpa,

I often make this vermicelli upma at home, and i add all vegetables to make it appear more appetizing and healthy also.Just add finely chopped onions, aloo, carrot, beans, capsicum, peas and of course tomato and believe me this tastes better than vegetable upma. Just let the veggies fry after the tadka is being done, then add required water and once it starts boiling add fried vermicelli

Hi Shilpa,

This recipe is delicious.. I have made it several time and my husband loves it

I once added some cashew nuts along with the urad dal and it added some more crunchiness to the dish and also enhancing the taste.

Regards,
Sunita

Hi Shilpa , I add chopped onion , chopped carrot , Green peas , bellpepper cut in long strips in addition to all the ingredients that you have mentioned . It becomes very nutritious one dish meal for quick lunch or light dinner . I put vermicelli in boiling water for a minute .Put it on a strainer and then pour ice cold water on it .( no chance for formation of lump )

Hello,

Love your site and have got a lot of useful tips from here. I never used to get my vermicelli upma right..always clumpy. Tried it your way and it came out perfect…infact, when I tried it out your way, I made very little – just to see how it comes out. It came out so well that everyone at home started complaining about the little quantity I made.

Thanks very much for taking so much efforts in posting.

My best regards,
Aparna
