Vermicelli Upma

Vermicelli upma - quick instant pot version of upma

Quantity - 2 people breakfast

Ingredients:

Bambino Vermicelli - 1 cup
Carrot - 1 finely cubed
Onion - 1/2 finely chopped
Green Peas - 1/2 cup
French beans - 1/4th cup (optional)
Sweet corn - 1/4th cup (optional)
Mustard seeds - to temper
Hing - to temper
Cashew - fistful to temper
Curry leaves - one strand to temper
Urad day - 1/2 tbsp to temper
Green chillies - 2/3 to temper as per spice
Ginger - finely grated one inch to temper
Water - 2 cups
Salt - as per taste
Peanut oil - to temper

Appliance Needed
Instant Pot

Procedure:

1. Start the instant pot in Saute mode and put peanut oil to become hot
2. While the oil is getting hot , finely chop all the vegetables to be added in upma . I usually use carrots ,peas and onions .But you can also put french beans , corn , green peppers etc .
3. Once the oil is hot , add tadka items - mustard seeds , hing , cashew , chillies , ginger , curry leaves and fry everything nicely .
4. Once the tadka is done , add all the veggies together and keep frying . Ensure nothing sticks to the pot and burns - this will give a very weird taste to the upma , so avoid it .
5. Now switch off the saute mode in instant pot and add the vermicelli . Mix everything well and add salt as required .
6 . Now add 2 cups of water , mix well and close the lid of instant pot
7 . Start the instant pot in Manual mode for 1 min and sealing mode
8 . After the manual mode for a min is done , switch off and allow the pressure to be released . Open the lid and mix everything together . Vermicelli should be cooked nicely and well separated .

Serve hot with coriander coconut chutney !
