Egg vermicelli or egg semiya upma is the tastiest breakfast you could ever make. It is not only easy to put together, but also tastes amazing. Addition of egg makes it filling for breakfast and a good protein source. I have used carrots and green peas here, you can add more veggies if you prefer. Alternatively, you can even skip veggies if you are in a hurry. You can even replace egg with cooked mutton kheema. Make sure to try this easy recipe and let us know how it turned out.
