Sevaicha Upma (Vermicilli Upma)

Ingredients:

1 cup sevai (vermicilli)

1/4 cup coconut (grated)

1/2 inch ginger (grated)

2-3 green chillies (chopped)

8-10 curry leaves

1 tsp ghee

1tsp jeera/mustard

1 tsp sugar

salt to taste

coriander leaves (garnish)

Procedure:

1. Heat ghee in a kadhai , add ginger and saute it, add jeera. After the jeera crackles, add the curry leaves and chopped green chillies. ( I prefer big peices of chilly ....so I don't accidentally bite into it)

2.Add the vermicilli and stir it till it gets brown ( do this on a low or med flame so it doesn't become charcoal).

3. Add the coconut, salt and sugar. Add enough water to cover the vermicilli. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander and coconut chutney.

Tip : You can also add sev or bhujia while garnishing.
