Vermicelli or Semiya (in Tamil) are thin noodles/pasta that is the most commonly used noodles in Indian in traditional dishes. It can be used in both sweet and savory preparations. The most common savory preparation is the Upma which is a south indian breakfast dish made out of grains and vegetables and flavored with green chillies, curry leaves and cashews . <br /> <br />I remember eating this dish made by great grandmother for tiffin ( tea time snack ) as a kid and still feel that it is the best that I have ever tasted. I have tried to recreate her recipe with the addition of more vegetables for a healthy and wholesome breakfast.
