Vermicelli pulao !!

There are a lot of times when we wanna eat different or eat light other than our daily veggies or chapati or rice or pulses....and then we look for an option which is light,tasty as well as heathy....and me at home make such things at those times....vermicelli is made in a variety of styles....lots of people just use it to make dessert(vermicelli kheer)... but my house its used in a savoury style most of the times....and added veggies to it gives it a diffferent taste alltogether......

I remember eating it when I was a child,My late grand mother use to make it only with potatoes and peas,and homemade vermicelli....she use to make loads with flour ,dry it in sun and keep jars full...and make dishes like this pulao and kheer....and I use to be always greedy for more :).....
