Vermicelli (Shavige) Pulav

Shavige Pulav
Sweet Vermicelli Kheer is well known to many of us. Today's post is about a savory Vermicelli or Shavige or Semiya Pulav. In my opinion, Vermicelli are healthier Instant Wheat Noodles.

Ingredients:
Vermicelli - 2 cups
Carrots - 2
Green Peas - 1/2 cup
Green/French Beans - 1/2 cup
Potato - 1 small
Green Chilies - 8
Cilantro/Coriander leaves - few sprigs
Cashews - 5
Bay Leaf - 1
Turmeric/Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Cumin/Jeera Seeds - 1/4 tsp
Biryani or Pulav Masala - 1/4 tsp
Salt
Oil

How to cook Savory Vermicelli Pulav:
  • Heat 2 - 3 tbsp oil in a pan/skillet and add vermicelli. Sauté the vermicelli till they turn crisp and slightly brown. Save them for later.
  • Dice the peeled carrots, green beans, peeled potato into medium pieces. Slit the green chilies lengthwise and finely chop cilantro.
  • Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add bay leaf, cumin seeds. After a minute, add carrots, beans, peas, potatoes. Sauté till all the vegetables get cooked or the potatoes are slightly glazed.
  • Add green chilies, cashews, biryani masala and saute for 3 - 5 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups water, chopped cilantro, turmeric and salt. When water starts boiling, add fried vermicelli and cook till water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and keep it covered for a couple of minutes. Mix well and serve.
