Vermicelli With Poached Eggs

Seviyan as we call this at home is quite repeatedly used for breakfast at my home. I learnt this recipe from my Mother-in-law after marriage and since then it has become one of my favourite dishes. Sometimes I prepare this as a brunch on lazy Sunday mornings. It is simple, easy to prepare yet filling.

Ingredients :-

• 200 gms vermicelli
• 2 onions (finely chopped)
• 3 tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 2 green chillies (finely chopped)
• Few coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste 
• ¼ tsp turmeric pdr
• 4 eggs
• salt to taste

Method :- 

•  Heat the oil in a wok.
• Add onions  and green chillies. Fry till transparent. 
• Add the garlic-ginger paste, salt, turmeric pdr and tomatoes.
• Add 2 glass of water and let it boil.
• Add in vermicelli and mix well.
• When water is about to dry, break in each eggs seperately and cover with cooked vermicelli.
• Cover on slow flame till well cooked and eggs are done.
• Garnish with coriander leaves.

Notes :-

• For vegetarians, you may omit eggs and add in chopped vegetables after the tomatoes are cooked
• You may also add in kheema / boiled chicken after the tomatoes are cooked.
•  Remove the eggs carefully so that they do not mix with the seviyan.

Happy Cooking!!
