Recipe 11: Vermicelli with Vegetables

Vermicelli is a very thin variety of noodle shaped pasta. They are extremely easy to make and can be prepared in a variety of manner, both vegan and with meats.


Being so widely available and cooked in almost every household, I feel that vermicelli is not something that needs to be told how to cook.


Little did I know that I am wrong and people do struggle with cooking it correctly.


So today evening when I was hungry and saw tons of vegetables in my fridge, Vermicelli is what I cooked.





Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups of vermicelli
  2. 1 large carrot
  3. 3 stems of spring onion
  4. 1-2 green chillies
  5. 1/2 cup green peas
  6. 1tsp. zeera /cumin whole
  7. 1 tbsp. tomato sauce
  8. 1 tsp. green chilly sauce
  9. 1tsp. haldi/turmeric
  10. 2 tsp. black pepper powder
  11. salt to taste
  12. vegetable oil for shallow frying

Method:

Chop all the vegetables same size.
Par boil the vermicelli, drain some of the water, keep rest for later usage.
In a wok or frying pan add some oil and temper zeera.
Add in the vegetables and salt.
Cook on high flame for a minute.
Cover and cook on low flame till the vegetables like carrots cook completely.
However, the vegetables must not loose their firmness.
Add the boiled vermicelli and its water (about 1/2 cup) along with the sauces, pepper powder and haldi.
After 5 minutes of cooking, serve hot.
