shavige uppittu or vermicelli upuma

Shavige bath or vermicelli uppittu recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is a darshini style or hotel style shavige bath or shavige uppittu recipe. Shavige bath or lemon shavige is a very easy and tasty breakfast recipe. Shavige bath or shavige upma is prepared using roasted vermicelli, onion, capsicum, green chilli, lemon juice, coriander leaves, grated coconut and a big fat tempering.

You can find few more vermicelli recipes on this website like shavige payasa or vermicelli kheer, mint vermicelli and lemon vermicelli recipes.

There are two types of shavige bath or lemon shavige uppittu in practice. One is this with tomato and roasted vermicelli and the other one is with lemon juice and without roasting the vermicelli. The ingredients are almost similar to rave uppittu or semolina upma, which I have posted earlier. But the recipe is slightly different. This is the same uppittu or upuma recipe, which is used to prepare thick rava upuma or broken wheat upuma.

I am very happy to post this recipe as this is my son's favorite. If you are looking for more Karnataka style breakfast recipes then do visit our breakfast section.

I have made a video on this shavige bath recipe, which I have embedded it below. Kindly have a look.
