Notes
1. Use fresh seasonal vegetables or of your choice. I prefer onion, carrots, and green peppers, but you can add other vegetables like peas, corn, potato, beans, cauliflower, broccoli etc.can be added.
2. You can also add dry fruits, peanuts or boiled mini soya chunks to give a crunch and increase the protein content.
3. If the seviya or vermicelli is thin, then reduce the quantity of water to 1 and 1/2 cups.
4. Lightly saute the vegetables otherwise, they become mushy and do not taste good.
