Mixed Vegetable Semiya Upma is much liked savory delicacy in my family. MTR Vermicelli is the brand I prefer in making this Upma. Adding fresh chopped vegetable pieces gives a new flavor to this upma. This semiya upma comes handy whenever I get struck or run out with breakfast ideas. Hot semiya upma can also make an ideal evening snack. Whenever I have to prepare something only for myself I love to indulge on this upma. So this means I can gratify this delicacy at any time of the day. Hot semiya upma with a spoon full of tangy lemon pickle sets my day. Oooo I can’t resist… I am going to indulge…….You scroll to check out the recipe…
