Vermicelli Upma

Vermicelli Upma


1. Boil vermicelli in 2 ltrs. of water in a pot for 5 minutes.

2. Drain the water and keep vermicelli aside.

3. Cut the vermicelli into smaller bits and keep aside. I used small bits of vermicelli, so this step was omitted. You get small bits of vermicelli in a bag in the shopping markets, so if you can get one of those, then use that for this recipe.

4. Heat oil in a pan.

5. Add mustard seeds and allow to splutter.

6. Once they stop spluttering, add the dals and stir-fry for a few minutes till they turn brown in colour.

7. Add turmeric powder and curry leaves. Stir-fry for 2 minutes on low heat.

8. Toss in greenpeas and green chillies.

9. Allow the greenpeas to cook.

10. Once the peas are cooked, add the boiled vermicelli and coconut if using it. Mix thoroughly.

11. Garnish with corriander leaves and cashews if using those.

12. Serve hot.

13. Enjoy!
