- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan and splutter mustard seeds.
- Add the peanuts and roast for a few minutes until lightly browned.
- Throw in the onions, curry leaves and green chillies. Saute until the onions become translucent.
- Add the half cooked vegetables along with turmeric powder, red chilly powder and salt to taste. Saute for 2 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of water (double the amount of vermicelli) to the pan and bring everything to a slow boil.
- Slowly add vermicelli to the pan stirring continuously.
- Cover and cook on medium flame until all water has been absorbed by the vermicelli. This will take around 5 minutes.
- Open the pan, increase heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes so that all water evaporates and the vermicelli doesn’t appear soggy.
- Sprinkle lemon juice for more flavor and remove from stove top.
Note

- For Vermicelli Upma, you need to add 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of Vermicelli.
