Then add the onions and chillies and saute till the onion becomes translucent.
Add the veggies and saute them till it gets half cooked.
Add 300ml of water, salt and close it with a lid.
Once the water starts boiling add vermicilli and saute well so that everything gets mixed well.
Again close with the lid and allow it to cook in low flame.

Nice side dish would be pickle or chutney.
The same recipe can also be prepared with rava (Sooji), but little more oil should be used.
