My mom never preferred to give me Chapatti in my school lunchbox. Mom’s are smart, although i never complained even if she did once in a while; but I am sure she had a clue I wasn’t fond of eating the food which I would anyways be eating when I reach back home from school.

So i used to get lots of bread, eggs, whole fruits and this. It is Vermicelli, cooked like a Pulao. It is a simple dish if you have all your veggies pre-cut like in the cookery shows sigh

I had curd with it, because I felt it was too dry to go down my throat. I want to write more, but I don’t want to doze off on my computer chair 😉

Here’s the recipe:

Vermicelli Pulao

• 1 cup Vermicelli
• Veggies ( baby corns, peas, tomatoes, spring onions)
• Garlic ( 8-10 cloves)
• 2 Tablespoon Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• Cardamom and cloves ( 4 each)

– Take 1 tablespoon of oil and fry the Vermicelli and take it out of the wok.

– In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, add garlic, cumin, cardamom, cloves.

– Add the veggies into the above mix ( I used boiled peas, so no fry for them)

– Put the Vermcelli back to the wok.

– Add enough water to soak everything in and keep it on simmer and covered.

– They are ready to serve when it has soaked up all the water.

– Eat with curd or just as is.
