Vermicelli Pulav or Semiya Pulav is a delicious Indian dish made with thin noodles, whole spices and veggies. It’s a popular breakfast or brunch item in many Indian households.
Today i would like to share a recipe for Vermicelli (aka Semiya) Pulav. The procedure is quite similar to a regular vegetable pulav. Its a one pot meal, which can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less and cleanup is a breeze. Cucumber raita compliments this pulav very well.
When you have friends over and want to make something quick, this pulav comes to the rescue. If you dont have the time to prep the veggies, even frozen vegetable works..
