Sizzling Semya Delight

Ingredients:

• 1 cup vermicelli (semya)
• 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 green chili, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1/4 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1/4 cup bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), diced
• 1 tomato, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
• Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Vermicelli:

• Heat a pan over medium heat and dry roast the vermicelli until it turns golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

1. Sauté Aromatics:

• In the same pan, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and green chili. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

1. Add Vegetables:

• Add grated carrot, green peas, and diced bell peppers to the pan. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

1. Add Spices:

• Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala to the pan. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

1. Cook Vermicelli:

• Add the roasted vermicelli to the pan. Stir well to combine with the vegetables and spices.
• Pour in 2 cups of water and season with salt. Mix everything together.

1. Simmer:

• Cover the pan and let the vermicelli cook over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vermicelli is cooked through and all the water is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

1. Garnish and Serve:

• Once the vermicelli is cooked, remove the pan from heat.
• Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
• Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.

Enjoy the sizzling semya delight as a flavorful and satisfying meal on its own or as a side dish with your favorite curry or chutney!
