Rekha's Notes
- Do not over boil the vermicelli as it could turn into a sticky lump.
- Always boil the noodles and vermicelli till it is almost cooked because they will cook again for 2-3 minutes with the veggies.
- Use the required amount of ghee or oil because it prevents the vermicelli from sticking together.
- Also, for the better taste and nutrition ghee is what I prefer for the recipe.
- Do not use garam masala or extra spices as it will make the vermicelli pulao bitter.
- Keep pre-prep veggies in your refrigerator to reduce the cooking time.
