The colorful vegetables contribute essential micronutrients, such as Vitamin A from carrots, Vitamin C from tomatoes and lemon, and various minerals that support overall immunity and bodily functions.
Yes, Namkeen Seviyan can be a very healthy breakfast or light meal. It's a balanced dish with carbohydrates from vermicelli, and essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the vegetables. To make it healthier, use whole wheat vermicelli and a moderate amount of oil.
A single serving of Namkeen Seviyan (approximately 1 cup or 185g) contains around 250-300 calories. The exact count can vary based on the amount of oil and the specific vegetables used.
Stickiness usually occurs for two main reasons: 1) The vermicelli was not roasted enough. Roasting prevents the strands from releasing too much starch. 2) The water-to-vermicelli ratio was off (too much water). Adhering to a 1:2 ratio by volume is crucial for a fluffy, non-sticky result.
Absolutely. For a 'no onion, no garlic' version, you can simply omit the onions and ginger. The dish will still be delicious due to the tempering spices and other vegetables.
Store leftover Namkeen Seviyan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, sprinkle a little water over it and microwave for 1-2 minutes or gently heat it in a pan on the stovetop until warm.
