Tips:

• Before boiling, I did dry roast the seviyan to make it more healthy. You can use 2 tsp oil/ ghee also to roast seviyan.
• If you are using roasted vermicelli then ignore roasting step.
• You can add or ignore any vegetables to make it of your choice.
• Make sure to add the roasted vermicelli only when the water starts to boil. otherwise the vermicelli will be sticky.
• Last and important point, don't overcook the seviyan while boiling, otherwise vermicelli will turn  mashy.
