Sevaiyya Upma/ Vermicelli Upma

Vermicelli Kheer is more popularly made at our place as compared to the savory counterpart. Off late though I make upma often. Although this is known by different names across states this is what we call it here. Quick and easy and simply tasty It is better alternative to our regular noodles.





Ingredients
1 cup Vermicelli (I use home made by mom)
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tspn Split Black lentil (washed and soaked water)
1 tspn Split Bengal Gram (washed and soaked water)

a sprig of curry leaves
1 tbsp Oil
1 tspn Mustard seeds
1 tspn Cumin seeds
1 pinch asafoetida
1 tspn sugar
1 tspn lemon juice
salt to taste
Method
1) In a large non stick frying wok/kadai dry roast the crushed vermicelli till they are slightly colored. 
2) Remove the vermicelli and set it aside
3) Heat the oil in the wok, add mustard seeds. Let them splutter
