I had some broccoli florets and a Delhi carrot in my fridge. I just wanted to use it up. Yesterday, I thought of preparing wheat vermicelli upma. I just added those veggies to the upma and the flavour was quite different, but nice. We enjoyed it with coconut chutney. You can use any vegetable to this upma.

3. Add curry leaves if using.
4. Add onion and saute till golden brown.
5. Add green chillies and the vegetables. Add salt.

7. You can also sprinkle some water and cook the vegetables.

10. When 3/4th done, switch flame to low and cover the pan.
