Breakfast provides energy for the day, but often, due to time constraints, we settle for anything. If you're struggling with this problem, salted vermicelli can be a great and healthy option. It's not only easy to make, but also delicious and nutritious. It only takes 10-15 minutes to prepare, and you can make it even healthier by adding your favorite vegetables.

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

Roasted vermicelli: 1 cup
Finely chopped vegetables: 1/2 cup (carrots, peas, bell peppers, onions)
Oil or ghee: 2 tablespoons
Mustard seeds: 1/2 teaspoon
Curry leaves: 5-6
Finely chopped green chilies: 1
Ginger-garlic paste: 1/2 teaspoon (if desired)
Turmeric powder: 1/4 teaspoon
Salt: to taste
Water: 1.5 to 2 cups
For garnish: Lemon juice and coriander leaves

Method:

If your vermicelli isn't roasted, add a little ghee to a pan and fry until lightly golden. Using roasted vermicelli will prevent it from sticking.

Add a little more oil to the same pan. Add mustard seeds and curry leaves and fry. When the mustard seeds begin to crackle, add the onion and green chilies and fry. Now add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute.

Add the chopped carrots, capsicum, and peas and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add turmeric and salt and mix well.

Now add water to the pan and bring to a boil. When the water starts boiling, add the roasted vermicelli and mix well.

Reduce the heat and cover the pan. Cook until the vermicelli absorbs the water and is completely cooked. This will take about 5-7 minutes. You can stir it once in between.

Turn off the heat. Let the vermicelli cool slightly so that it becomes fluffy. Serve hot, drizzling with lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves.
