Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Rinse and Soak Rice Vermicelli

Pour 200g of rice vermicelli into a bowl, rinse it thoroughly under running water, and then soak it in water for 20 minutes. Keep aside.

Step 2: Fry Anchovies

Heat cooking oil in a pan. Add 1/2 cup of cleaned anchovies and fry until golden brown, which takes about 1-2 minutes. Once fried, push the anchovies to one side of the pan.

Step 3: Add Mixed Spices

Add 1 teaspoon of mixed spices or mustard seeds to the hot oil next to the anchovies and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

Step 4: Sauté Onions

Add 2 sliced large red onions to the pan. Sauté the onions with the anchovies and spices until they become translucent, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5: Add Chilies and Curry Leaves

Add 10 dried chilies and 2 sprigs of curry leaves to the pan. Sauté all ingredients together for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 6: Add Rice Vermicelli

Add the soaked and drained rice vermicelli to the pan. Mix well with the sautéed ingredients using low heat, ensuring the vermicelli is evenly coated.

Step 7: Season with Salt

Add salt to taste and continue to mix thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes to distribute the salt evenly.

Step 8: Cook with Water

Pour approximately 1/2 cup of water into the pan. Continue to cook and mix the noodles until they are soft and the water has been absorbed, which takes about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9: Serve

Once the noodles are soft and well-mixed with all the ingredients, they are ready to be served.
