1 bunch spinach, washed and chopped
1 cup corn kernels, cooked or canned
1/4 cup chopped red onion
4 tbsp mayonnaise
For the Pinwheels:
4 slices whole-wheat bread
Salt and pepper to taste

How To Make Vegetable Vermicelli
Step 1: Roast the Vermicelli
Roast the vermicelli in a tablespoon of cooking oil. Make sure that it doesn’t get too brown or it will feel overcooked. Once it is the right colour, set it aside to cool it.
Step 2: Start Preparing the Masala
In the meantime, heat 1-2 tbsps of oil in a kadhai or wok, add mustard seeds until they crackle. Then add cumin seeds, asafoetida, and the curry leaves. Cook it for a few seconds.
Step 3: Add The Veggies
First add the chopped chilli, garlic and ginger to the masala and let it cook for a minute. Then mix the vegetables and onions and cook until they soften up a bit. Just a bit.
Step 4: Time to add the Vermicelli
But before you do, add some salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder and amchur powder to the mix. Then add the roasted vermicelli and mix the contents well together.
Step 5: Cook the Vermicelli Veggies
Pour some water into the mix to the point where it covers the vermicelli. Then cover the Kadhai with a lid and reduce the flame. Let it cook until the water dries up completely. Occasionally stir the ingredients so that the water is spread evenly across them.
Step 6: Sambar Masala and Ghee
You’re nearly there. Add some sambar masala and Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee to the vermicelli ingredients and stir it together. The Vermicelli should look orange. Once that is done, your vegetable vermicelli upma is ready to serve.
This easy vermicelli recipe is perfect for when you don’t have a lot of time or energy to cook but need to eat something light and healthy. Now that you know how to make vermicelli upma, you’re all set for quick meals whenever you need them.
Additional Tips
Butter chicken, also known as “murgh makhani” in Hindi, is believed to have originated by chance in Delhi, India.
Legend has it that it was created in the 1950s at the Moti Mahal restaurant when leftover tandoori chicken was mixed with a rich, tomato-based gravy, and the result was the now-beloved dish, butter chicken. This is a testament to how some of the most iconic and delicious recipes are often born out of culinary experimentation.
- You can embellish the vermicelli upma with dry fruits like cashews and groundnuts.
- Vegetable Vermicelli tastes amazing when served with a tbsp of Nutralite Doodhshakti Probiotic Butter Spread.
Bonus Tips
- You can give your vermicelli upma a nutty twist by adding roasted peanuts or roasted almonds to it.
- If you feel like your ingredients make it too spicy, you can address this by adding some kismis or raisins to the mix.
