You can use thin or thick vermicelli. If possible, always use thick vermicelli for upma. But you can also use thin as I use here. And the most important thing is that, use the right amount of water for cooking vermicelli. If you add too much water, it becomes soggy and mushy. That’s why always read the packet instruction for this. Or you can go with this method that I use here? Water quantity depends on the thickness or size of your vermicelli. So first add some water then add more if requires. When you see the vermicelli is covered by water. It is the perfect measurement for cooking semiya.
