3. Sauté Vegetables
   Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in tomatoes, green chilli, and all dry spices.
4. Cook the Vegetables
   Add chopped carrots, peas, and beans (or potatoes). Add a splash of water, cover, and cook for 6–7 minutes.
5. Add Vermicelli
   Mix in the roasted vermicelli. Pour in 2 cups of water and stir gently.
6. Cook Until Done
   Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for 10 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.
7. Finish & Serve
   Turn off the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with lemon juice and coriander.
