Vermicelli Upma is a savory Indian dish made using thin, roasted vermicelli noodles cooked with vegetables, aromatic spices, and herbs. Typically, this dish includes ingredients such as carrots, peas, onions, green chilies, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a dash of lemon juice for added zest. Originating from South Indian cuisine, Vermicelli Upma is both flavorful and quick to prepare, making it a popular breakfast or snack option. Nutritionally, it provides a balance of carbohydrates from the vermicelli and vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the mixed vegetables. The inclusion of minimal oil and the use of wholesome spices like turmeric contribute to its healthiness. However, depending on the type of vermicelli used, the dish may be refined-carb-heavy if prepared with white flour noodles, so opting for whole wheat vermicelli can make it a more nutritious choice. It’s a light yet satisfying dish ideal for a busy day.
