Diabetic and Keto Friendly Vermicelli Upma

Semiya Upma with a healthy twist

Vermicelli Upma or Semiya Upma is a one of the everyday breakfasts in South India. Instead of using vermicelli/semiya which is high in carbohydrates, we used zuchini noodles (zoodles) thus making it a healthy and a low carb option. Customize this Upma to your liking by adding additional veggies and spices. Here we have kept it very simple using just basic tempering. The simplicity in our opinion enhances the flavors of the spices and zucchini. Make this at home and create your own variation.
