Ingredients

1. Mix melted ghee to vermicelli and roast in a hot pan till golden brown.
2. Heat eight to ten cups of water in a broad vessel with a teaspoon of oil and little salt.
3. When the water starts boiling add vermicelli bits and cook till it is just tender.
4. Drain off water in colander and pour some more cold water on top and drain well. This prevents vermicelli from sticking each other.
5. Place deep curved pan on stove with oil and add seasonings.
6. Add green chillies, onions, other chopped vegetables and fry in till vegetables are tender.
7. Add tomatoes at the end and fry till it becomes soft.
8. Add cooked vermicelli with salt and turmeric powder.
9. Fry in medium flame for another a few minutes.
10. Squeeze lemon and garnish with coriander and grated coconut.

• This upma can be directly cooked by pouring water (1:1) after the vegetables become tender and by adding fried vermicelli to that.
