A delightful South Indian breakfast made with roasted vermicelli, sautéed vegetables, and a fragrant tempering of spices. This quick and savory dish, popular in Karnataka, is perfect for a light and satisfying meal.
If using un-roasted vermicelli, heat a wide pan and dry roast it on medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously until light golden brown. This prevents it from becoming sticky. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then, add urad dal and chana dal, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they turn golden brown and aromatic.
Add the chopped onion, slit green chilies, grated ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender. Then, add the chopped tomato and cook for another 2 minutes until it softens.
Pour in 4 cups of hot water, add salt and turmeric powder. Stir well and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Reduce the heat to low. Slowly add the roasted vermicelli while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Mix gently to combine everything.
Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the vermicelli is cooked through. Turn off the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. This step is crucial for fluffy, separate strands.
