Capsicum - 1/2
Pudina  / Mint leaves - 7 to 8

Servings: 2 Adults
Preparation time: 30 Mins

Method:

If the vermicelli is roasted, you can readily use them. If not roasted, first roast the vermicelli in little oil until they turn pale brown.

In a flat base pan, add oil and sauté the onions until it becomes transparent. Now add the ginger garlic paste and sauté for 2 mins.

Once its done, add the mint leaves and sauté. Then add all the vegetables and sauté them until they become tender. Once they become tender, add salt, little garam masala and sauté again until the raw smell goes off.

Now add water to the vegetables in the ratio of 1 : 2.5, i.e for one cup of vermicelli add 2.5 cups water, so that they will boil without burning at the bottom. Let the vegetables boil in water for 5 mins.

Now add the roasted vermicelli. Reduce the flame between sim and medium. Let the vermicelli boil in water for 5 to 10 minutes. Once its boiled, water will be absorbed and there will be very little water content.

At this point, add the tomato sauce and mix well gently. Make sure you are not smashing the boiled vegetables. Once the sauce is mixed, let it be in flame for another 3 mins.

Now Semiya Bhadh / Semiya Pulav is ready to be served. You can garnish with little coriander leaves.
