Hello my lovely peeps!!
Today, I am sharing a quick and easy Indian breakfast recipe. Hmm.. I just realised I don’t have many breakfast recipes on my blog.
Well, except for this popular Bengali recipe Aloo Chechki (Potato curry with Nigella seeds) which I had a shared recently. I think I have to do a series of delicious and quick breakfast soon.

Now back to this hearty breakfast. Upma is basically a popular South Indian breakfast that is made with sooji/rava/semolina. This vermicelli upma is a similar take on this popular meal.
I can eat this upma not only for breakfast but also for lunch and dinner as well. It is just so delicious. And the more important thing is that, it can be made well under 30 mins, which has become a necessity now as most of my time goes in entertaining my 22 months old.
And and and this sevai upma is toddler approved too. My baby loves this more that sooji upma and can clean off a bowlful of vermicelli upma in no time. So yes this is a toddler and a mom approved recipe.
You can always control the amount of spiciness you add to this if you are making this for your toddlers or kids. This semiya upma makes a great snack for kids and also great for their school lunch boxes.
