Why Should You Make It
Ingredients for Indian Vermicelli Pulao
How to Make Vermicelli Pulao
For making 20 Minutes vermicelli recipe totally from scratch I follow this process. Boiling Vermicelli noodles takes 5-6 minutes when Vermicelli is boiling I chop the veggies. And, making rest of the recipe just takes 10 Minutes. So you see! All we need is work out the process in right steps 🙂 After I posted the previous Lemon vermicelli upma which was inspired from lemon rice, many of you asked which vermicelli noodles I have used in the recipe.
Substitutions & Variations
I have used rice vermicelli noodles in that recipe, as well as this veg pulao recipe. However, if semolina/wheat noodles are what you like both these recipes can be made with wheat vermicelli or Vietnamese vermicelli too. For me, recipes are just a rough sketch, we need to fill the colours of flavours as per our taste. I have used common vegetables, carrots, peas etc, you can pick your favourite veggies and tofu adds good proteins to make it filling breakfast. Actually why breakfast, it makes a filling and healthy one-pot meal for any time of the day. You can also use paneer or chickpeas if you do not like tofu.
My Tried and True Tips
Do not over boil the vermicelli as it could turn into a sticky lump. Always boil the noodles and vermicelli till they are almost cooked. They will cook again for 2-3 minutes with the veggies. Use the required amount of ghee or oil because it prevents the vermicelli from sticking together. Also, for the better taste and nutrition ghee is what I prefer for the recipe. Do not use garam masala or extra spices as it will make the vermicelli pulao bitter. Keep pre-prep veggies in your refrigerator to reduce the cooking time.
Meal Prep For This Dish
When planning my weekly menu, I try to include lots of these easy recipes that can be pre-prepped and stored in the fridge. For this recipe as well chopped veggies are there in the fridge. Already boiled rice vermicelli was in the fridge as well. If you are into meal prep thing this Veg Pulao takes just 10 Minutes or so.
Pairing and Serving Tips
This vermicelli mixed veg pulao can be served with some mint and coriander green chutney or mango pickle.
