About Semiya upma

Semiya Upma is a flavorful South Indian dish made primarily from vermicelli, lightly roasted and cooked with vegetables, aromatic spices, and tempered ingredients like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies. Common additions include onions, carrots, peas, and nuts, which boost its nutritional profile. It is typically garnished with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice for zest. Originating from Indian cuisine, Semiya Upma is a quick and satisfying breakfast or light meal option. Its health benefits stem from the fiber and nutrients in the vegetables and nuts, though the refined vermicelli provides mostly carbohydrates, making it lower in protein and fiber compared to whole-grain alternatives. Opting for whole-grain or millet-based vermicelli and reducing oil can enhance its nutritional value. This dish is versatile, easily customized, and a wholesome addition to balanced eating when prepared mindfully.
