Roast it until they have a little brown texture.
- Then in the same pan add 1 tsp mustard oil with 1 tsp cumin seeds on medium heat and let them sizzle.
- When cumin seeds start to crackle add chopped onions and saute them until they have a little golden texture.
- Then add chopped potato, green chili,1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and salt to taste.
- Add 1-2 tbsp water. Mix them well. Then cook potatoes until they are soft covering the pan on low heat.
- When potatoes are soft in then add vermicelli.
- Then add 1.5 cups of water or the vermicelli covers properly and cook on low to medium flame while covering the pan until they have a fluffy and soft texture.
- Stir in between so that the vermicelli does not stick at the bottom of the pan.
- When all the water absorbs properly and has a fluffy and soft texture then turn off the heat.
