Steps

15 minutes

1

I'm using rice vermicelli which is made & cooked so need to soak, dry & roast.
2

Heat oil in a pan, Add peanuts or cashews. Fry them until golden & crunchy. Remove to a plate.
3

To the same pan, add mustard, cumin,chana dal, & urad dal.Fry untilthe dal turns golden and roasted well.
4

Next add hinges, onions, ginger, green chilli and curry leaves.Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes until the onions turn transparent.
5

This step is optional. If using carrot, beans, peas add them now and saute for another 3 mins. Cook covered on a low flame till they turn slightly tender in a separate kadai.
6

Add salt. Transfer semiya to the pan & stir immediately. Garnish semiya upma with grated coconut, roasted peanuts.Serve hot with tea or coffee.
