The Semiya Upma and its Heritage
Semiya upma is one of the most flavorful dishes, with a cuisine legacy that begins in the southern areas of India. The upma is supposed to have roots in Tamil Nadu, where it entered the scene. It gradually spread to other parts of South India and then all over the country.
The term ‘upma’ is a compound term that is literally translated as ‘salt + flour’ based on Tamil, which is existed in Sanskrit words ‘Uppu’ and ‘Mavu’.
Being a source to avoid wastage in the kitchen, semiya upma would make the best use of the remaining ingredients, turning it into a wholesome meal. Indian cuisine gives respect to tradition, i.e. not wasting food and creating the best possible meal using all the available resources. The way we make this upma now may not be the traditional way, but the history of experimentalisation and improvisation has made it possible for us to behold the thousands of ways semiya upma is served.

Serving Suggestions and Accompaniments for Semiya Upma Recipe
The best accompaniment is the factor that makes up an interesting dish turning it into an everlasting memory. Here’s how I like to serve semiya upma
- Chutneys: To add to that touch, the coconut chutney or the tomato chutney, as sides, bring out the nuances of the flavors too, quite perfectly.
- Sambhar: A pot of hot sambhar, a lentil-based vegetable soup, can unite seemingly unrelated upma prepared with semiya making it more fulfilling for the body.
- Yogurt: A portion of plain yogurt matchs the savory taste of semolina upma.
- Pickles: A dash of the hot Indian pickle is a good example to bring zest and brightness to the meal.
Regardless of your taste, semiya upma serves this purpose since it comes in different forms, which can make it more appealing.
