One breakfast dish that can be prepared very quickly is the vermicelli upma. Instead of this usual upma, I decided to make vermicelli with a biryani flavor to it.
This is also a very tasty and easy dish to prepare. Have it for breakfast or as a snack. You don’t need any side dish for this.
You could use readymade store bought roasted vermicelli that is available. If not, you need to dry roast it in a pan before preparing this dish. The vegetables I have used are beans and carrots. You could add peas and potatoes also, if preferred.
