 CHOLAM SEMIYA UPMA RECIPE | STARTUP COOKING

Cholam semiya Upma is one of the healthy and tasty South Indian breakfast recipe made with vermicelli. Ragi is also known as Sorghum millet or Jowar in Hindi.

Upma is a one pot dish made with some tempering ingredients like onion, green chilli, curry leaves, mustard seeds and Urad Dal.  I added my favorite veggies, to make more nutritious upma. It can also be made of rava, vermicelli, poha, sabudana, oats and other millets. Cholam semiya Upma can be served as evening snack also. This recipe goes well with coconut chutney, peanut chutney, sugar or pickle.
