Vegetable Vermicelli

Vegetable Vermicelli
Hey Foodies!As you all are facing hot scorching summer season and we are not in a mood to eat heavy meals specially breakfast,so i have tried this vermicelli with the goodness of vegetables which makes the dish full of nutrition and energy too.
Sundays are always lazy and we want something easy and tasty to prepare in breakfast.Vermicelli made up of suji(rawa)is really good for health as its very light and easy to digest.
People do enjoy vermicelli in desserts also by making kheer or meethi sevai also.But my family likes to have this in salted version only.

I have tried various methods to cook vermicelli but most of the time it turns to be very sticky.But now i have tried another method which will make your vermicelli not sticky ones.
Vermicelli can be taken in breakfast or lunch too and you can also give this to your children in their lunch boxes,I am sure they are going to enjoy this.Children normally enjoy this vermicelli with ketchup but i have served this with green coriander chutney and chilled cold coffee...mmmmm :-D

 As I have added veggies of my choice you can take any veggie of your choice.Vermicelli looks like fried rice but it tastes very different not like rice.Normally vermicelli contains very less spices and it has very mild flavour.But you can add spices if you desire according to your taste buds.So here goes the kids special recipe of Vegetable Vermicelli-
