Bambino Vegetable Pulao / Semiya Upma

                                                                 


This recipe is for basic and quick breakfast. And doesn't take up much time to prepare also, especially if you clean, chop the vegetables and  store them in Ziplock bag previous night. Next morning it will be easy for you to serve this tasty and filling breakfast.


                                                                            


Serves: 2-3  , Preparation time: 15 minutes


Ingredients:
2 cups Vermicelli / semiya
2 cups of Water 
6-7 French beans
1/2 cup Green peas
1 small Potato
1/2 cup Carrot, chopped
1/2 cauliflower, chopped
2-3 Green chillies
1 tsp Ginger, finely chopped
1/2 Garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1 Whole red chilly, chopped
1 Maggi cube (veg), easily available in markets
1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
2 tsp Ghee
1 tbsp Refind oil
1 tbsp Coriander leaves, finely chopped


Method:
Heat 2 tsp ghee and fry the vermicelli on low heat by frequently stirring until golden brown. Add two cups of water to it and add a pinch of salt. Mix well. Cover the pan with close lid and cook with low flame for about 4-5 minutes or till vermicelli is soft and all the water has dried up. Keep this aside.

Add all the vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes. When they become soft and tender add maggi masala, pepper powder and salt. Now add the vermicelli and mix well with the vegetables. Fry for 2 minutes and then remove from heat. Serve upma with chopped coriander.


User Comments & Tips:

  • The cup should be same for measuring semiya and water. 
  • If you have roasted semiya then no need to roast it again in ghee, just add water and rest procedure is same.
