This is popular South Indian breakfast. A quick and easy recipe, this is made from vermicelli, a type of pasta. This is so satisfying and delicious to prepare when you want a quick and easy breakfast.
When I was working my South Indian friends used to bring different types of vermicelli upma for tiffin / lunch box and enjoyed having them. This is one of the most simple and quick upma to prepare. Instead of cashew nuts you can add raw peanuts and fry them till brown.
