Here is another version of vermicelli upma that I prepare regularly.
Ingredients for 2 - 3 servings:
1 cup vermicelli (I used pre roasted variety.)
1/2 cup fresh / frozen grated coconut
1.5 cup water
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (optional)
1.5 tsp salt (or to taste)
For tadka: 3 - 4 tsp oil / ghee, 1 tsp chana dal, 1 tsp urad dal / skinned black gram, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 3 green chillies chopped fine (or to taste) and few curry leaves
Minced cilantro for garnish
Method:
* Add oil to a microwave safe bowl, and heat it in the microwave. Next add the dals, mustard and cumin seeds. When dals start turning reddish, add the chillies and curry leaves. Fry them for about 30 seconds or so.
* Next add the water, turmeric powder, salt and the coconut. Bring the water to a rolling boil. It would take around 3 - 4 minutes for this step.
* Next add the vermicelli and mix well. Cover and cook until vermicelli is done, about 8 - 10 minutes. Don't forget to stir in between.
* Garnish with minced cilantro and fresh coconut if desired.
If not using roasted vermicelli, toast the vermicelli until golden brown.
A simple and lovely recipe thats so fast and easy to make too.
