NOTE :- You can keep boiled Vermicelli in refrigerator for 3-4 days. The secret reveal here i.e. If you use the refrigerator wala vermicelli, its non-sticky and very quick to cook. I always cook vermicelli first and keep it in refrigerator and use when I needed. It's take less time to cook the Upma and also not sticky with each other. 

Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, dry red chilli, when it starts to dancing add chopped onion, ginger, green chilli, curry patta and saute for a while. Next add the frozen veggies and sprinkle salt, turmeric powder and mix well. Cook for 2-3 mins, the frozen one take very few time to cook. (You can use the raw veggies which take 5-8 mins. to cook). Then put the boiled Vermicelli to the pan and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar and lemon juice as your choice. Turn off the heat and Serve a HEALTHY and YUMMY Vermicelli Upma with any Chutney or Pickles...:-)
