semiya pulao

I just love Bambino vermicelli or semiya, one for its quality, two for its packaging and the recipes on the back of the cover. I tried this simple tasy semiya pulao from one of those recipes, loved both the look and the taste of the dish. Will do this more often.

Ingredients required:

For pulao:

Bambino vermicelli- 1 cup

mixed veggies- 1 cup

(i used potatotes,carrots u can add green peas,fresh beans and other veggies too)

onions- 2

tomatoes- 1

green chillies-2

oil - 2 tsp

coriander leaves- handful

mint leaves- handful

spices (shahjeera, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon)

salt to taste

For raita:

Curd- 1 cup

onion- 1 big

green chillies- 1

coriander leaves- a few

salt to taste

Method:

1. First boil 3 cups of water add 1tsp salt and 1 tsp oil and 1 cup of vermicelli. After vermicelli is cooked, strain in a colander and and run cold water through it to prevent the vermicelli sticking to each other.

2. Meanwhile Chop the required veggies, onions, green chillies and tomatoes.
