Ingredients:

• Semiya (Vermicelli)- 200g
• Onions – 1 (chopped lengthwise)
• Chilli powder – 3/4 tsp
• Cinnamom Stick – 1 stick
• Garlic – 4 cloves – roughly chopped
• Salt to taste
• Oil – 2 tbsp

Method:

Slightly roast the semiya in a dry pan and set aside. In another pan, heat the oil, add cinnamon, then add the onions and garlic and saute for a while. Pour about 2-3 cups of water to this. Add some salt and mix well and allow the water to boil. When the water is boiling, add in the semiya and cook till done. (till the water all evaporates). If you add too much water, the upma might become sticky.
