NOTE – I have used roasted store bough sevai , so I just stir fried for 1 min . If using plain unroasted sevai then stir fry for 2 mins .

Add salt + sugar and mix .

Add 11/2 cup hot water and mix .

Cook on medium flame .

once the water reaches sevai level .

Lower the flame and cook till complete moisture is absorbed.

NOTES

1. Instead of vermicelli you can also use idiyappam.Here we have to directly temper the idiyappam.-
2. You can  add any veges of your choice or make plain upma .
3. You can add chana dal / peanut  while tempering.
4. If you are using thin vermicelli then add less water, it would be 1 : 1
5. You can add asafoetida while tempering.
6. You can also try ready made Concord sevai which we have to soak in hot water and then use it .
