Ragi Vermicelli Upma

I use to make vermicelli upma a lot because its a easy to make breakfast in the running morning. I was hesitating to try ragi vermicelli upma thinking that nobody in my family would like it. But last week I just bought 1 pkd to give a try and everybody including my l'il one liked it very much.

Since its made of wheat + Ragi flour I happily went to the shop  Immediately & got 10 pkds.....ha ha......

You too can give a try.......simple recipe is here.
