With this gloomy weather which is sweeping UK and thunderstorms ahead, there is nothing I could do rather then just gazing at the sky under a duvet with cup of hot tea.

I made this wonderful simple upma with vermicilli which is Noel’s favourite for breakfast today.A quicky breakfast which took less then 15min .

How to make:

Vermicilli: 1/2 pkt

All Spice Powder: 1tbsp
Red onion:1
Green chillies: 3
Curry leaves: 2 sprigs
Chana dal, Urid dal, Mustard seeds: 1 tsp each.
Cashewnuts: 8

Now take 2 tsp of oil in a saucepan and add chana dal, urid dal and mustard seeds and when mustard seeds start spluttering add curryleaves, onion and chillies.Fry for couple of minutes and then add all spice powder and 2 glasses of water and salt.When the water start boiling add vermicilli to it and simmer it for 5 to 10 min until its cooked.Serve hot!!

Its such an easy and simple recipe that doesn’t take anytime and yet it tastes so good.This is my contribution to Wonderful Trupti’s WBB#12, Spice It Up

WBB, Weekend Breakfast Blogging is a unique and superb event started by none other than our Enigmatic Nandita of Saffron Trail.
I am privileged to guest host this WBB#11 and at the same time quite apprehensive as it’s my first event to host.

The theme for this month event is “Summer Fruits” and I ask you to come out with an amazing sunny dish which brings out the sunshine in you.

The welcome arrival of summer brings out our favourite summer fruits like Raspberries, Strawberries, Peaches, Cherries, Mangoes, Blackberries, Plums, Red and Black currants and many more.
I read an article about Summer Berries that they are your brain’s best friend, not only because of their high antioxidant status but also because they are the best fruit source of folic acid. Extra intake of folic acid can reverse memory decline and sharpen concentration. The wonderful flavour and unique quality arrives along with summer. They are definitely freshest, healthiest and the best tasting fruits.

So let your art of cooking spring up with this wonderful theme and try anything with fruits as main ingredient, from Smoothies to Puddings, Cocktails to Compotes.
So head out to your nearest farmer’s market, supermarket or pick your own right from the fields and try out a dish with a tinge of you in that.
Try something new this time, a unique dish or a traditional one, a simple or an intricate one, anything means anything food bloggers with summer fruits as main ingredient and servable as breakfast/brunch.
