Vermicelli upma is a very good break fast food for toddlers and school going kids.If they like noodles and pasta, I'm sure they will definitely like this upma..I must say my 2 year boy loves this food.If i gave this for a morning he will eat by himself with a spoon.No need of help for that(what's the reason...simple he loves it).And also in between he will have few vegetables(mommy happy:-):-)
so mommies please try out this recipe for your loving kids..they will say Thank you for a wonderful day with a smiling face.

  • Then add those onion and continue that same steps in kids method
  • You can avoid coconut,if kids don't like it.
  • For big kids,you can add fried cashews,almonds and raisins(ghee) or simply add those while cooking. 
  • Also you can add vegetables of your kids choice.Here i didn't add peas,since my kid don't like it.
Instead of giving all extra flavors and MSG in noodles(even though maggi came back)You will satisfied with this healthy food.

Let me hope your kid also like this food like me

Hopefully,
