Vermicelli Green Peas Pulao
I just loved this recipe vermicelli green peas pulao. When I made on lazy sunday morning for breakfast, I din’t know it will turn out with such divine taste. I had some frozen green peas.
The vermicelli I have used in the recipe are again handmade (homemade). Recently I have learned this making of vermicelli from my mother-in-law when I visited hometown for vacation.
I’m happy and satisfied that I learned one more thing. We made vermicelli from around 1 kg flour. No doubt I can’t match to my mother-in-law’s speed as she is an expert in this. But somehow I learned to do the same with little more time. It was time consuming task and requires patience. Someday I will share how to make this vermicelli at home.
As we know vermicelli can be used in preparing sweet dish or even savoury dish. This savoury recipe Vermicelli Green Peas, as the name describes its main ingredients are vermicelli and green peas. You can add other vegetables like potatoes, carrots, beans, cauliflower, corns or whatever you like to add. Try adding sauteed spinach for variation.
