Nutty, lemony fidelini!

Vermicelli or fidelini is a kind of pasta that is thinner than spaghetti and looks like little worms :)
You can be super creative with fidelini and whip up something fast and tasty. This is my creative version of fidelini - of course with an Indian touch.




Ingredients-

  • 2 cups fidelini/vermicelli
  • 1 cup chopped red and green bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup canned sweet corn
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • peanuts
  • crushed black pepper (1/2 tsp)
  • cashew nuts
  • lime juice (1&1/2 tsp)
  • chopped corriander leaves
  • turmeric powder
  • mustard seeds
  • chopped chilli pieces (1 big red chilli)
  • garam masala (3/4 tsp)
  • salt (according to taste)
  • cooking oil


Preparation- Boil fidelini till they are soft. Rinse it in cold water to remove any starch. Make sure that the noodles don't stick to each other. In a wok, pour around three tablespoons of cooking oil. As it gets hot, toss in the mustard seeds and allow them to sputter. Add cashew nuts, ground nuts and fry them till golden brown. Put in the onions and fry them till they are translucent. Add green chillies, bell peppers, peas, corn and fry them till they are crispier. Toss in the turmeric powder, crushed pepper, garam masala and salt. As the vegetables take in the spice add the fidelini and cook them all together. Before serving add lemon juice and chopped corriander leaves- Enjoy!
