When I am running out of time or in a lazy mode to cook, vermicelli comes in handy. It gets cooked very soon and the taste is yum as well.
I keep trying out different variants, and this one cooked in coconut milk has been my favorite so far. It is delicious with burst of flavors. Do give it a try if you like coconut milk based pulaos like me 😀Â
