How to prepare Samia Upma /Shavige Uppittu:
This is a perfect breakfast and quick recipe and my daughter loves this for evening as a snack too. Instead of ready noodles available in markets, we can prepare this healthy version of food with the home made ingradients/ masalas.
I have used MTR's vermicillie packet to prepare this and many more brands you get to chose in the market.
