Cooking Vermicelli

  • Measure ½ Cup of vermicilli and set it aside. Boil 2-3 cups of water and add the vermicilli  to the boiling water. Cook it till it becomes soft and tender. Generally it takes only 2-3 minutes for the vermicilli to cook in boiling water

  • Add finely chopped green chillies, salt and lemon juice to the mixing bowl and mix well to make it like a dough. The dough should not be sticky. if it is sticky then add little more bread crumbs.
