How to make Ragi semiya upma with step by step images
In a bowl add ragi semiya. Add water just to immerse semiya. Allow the semiya to soak in water for 3 minutes. Meanwhile heat water in idli steamer and grease the steaming plate with few drops of oil. After 3 minutes transfer the semiya to greased plate.
Now keep the steaming plate with ragi semiya in steamer and steam it for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes take steamed vermicelli out of the steamer and allow it to cool down. When the vermicelli has cooled a bit make sure they do not stick to each other. Gently fluff it with hands or fork. I divided vermicelli into 2 portions to make both sweet n savory version.
Now for savory version heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds, after it splutters add urad dal and channa dal, when it turns golden brown add curry leaves, sliced onion and green chilli. Saute well. When onions look sauteed add the steamed ragi semiya and salt. Toss it well. When everything looks combined put off the flame and serve it hot!
