Vermicelli (semiya) pulao

Sunday breakfast should be something good as all be at home. I loved making Semiya pulao and it turned out to be yum.

Soak 1 cup of soya chunks in boiled water for 2 mins and drain all the excess water, squeeze them  and keep aside. 
Heat 2 cups of water till boiling point and add 1 cup roasted vermicelli. When the vermicelli is cooked, add a tsp of oil, mix well and drain out the excess water. Allow it to cool for a few minutes and seperate using a fork.

Take the vegetables of your choice. 

Heat oil, add 1 tbsp cumin seeds, 3-4 cloves, 2 bay leaf and 1 cinnamon small. Fry for a minute and add the  chopped green chillies(2) and 2 chopped onions. Fry till onion turns bit transparent. Now add 1 chopped tomato and fry for 2-3 min. Add the chopped carrot (1) and capsicum(1), soya chunks, fry till vegetables are crispy. Cook till dry and add pinch of turmeric powder, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 tbsp chat masala powder and salt. (If you need more spice, then add red chilli powder at this stage)
Add cooked vermicelli and mix well and fry for 2-3 mins. Garnish with coriander leaves, roasted cashews and raisins.


Serve with raita of your choice.

It was really yummy..... Please try it :)
