Vermicelli Easy recipe


This one can be prepared quickly and would serve as light lunch, breakfast or dinner. Can have anytime. Kids would love this. Especially when you add the green vegetables in it, kids would have along with it. Alternatively you can take finely chop all the vegetables if you have time.

You can use vegetables such as Beans, Carrot, Potato, Capsicum, Cauliflower florets etc. Do not use tomato it would add lot of moisture. This is prepared exactly like upma. I have simply used the vegetables I had.

You can use roasted vermicelli or can dry roast the vermicelli with little ghee or oil, in low flame till light golden brown.


I have taken the vegetables and vermicelli for single serving.

Heat oil/ghee in a kadai/pan and add mustard seeds. Once they finish crackling add ginger, onion, green chilli and curry leaves.
Add other vegetables and salt saute for a minute
Add peanuts dry fruits at this stage, and turmeric.
Mix well and add water.
Bring it to a boil, ensure the vegetables are cooked
Simmer the flame and add the vermicelli slowly and stir continuously. 
vermicelli will absorb all the water, sprinkle lime juice if you have.
Mix well, and check the seasoning for salt, add if needed.
Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves, cover and rest it for 5 - 10 minutes.
The vermicelli would be loose enough if stirred like pulao rice.
