SEMIYA UPMA

Semiya upma is a simple yet tasty breakfast recipe. I normally prepare upmas on lazy weekends as its easy to cook.

We used to make upmas only with rava,but when i came across this recipe my family just loved having it.It is also very much similar to the noodles in terms of looks.So the kids will definetly  be tempting for this.I normally use the roasted semiya,as it reduces the time for cooking.
