Semiya Kichadi is a simple, quick and healthy breakfast/tiffin/dinner recipe. I prepare this when I don't feel like doing much of cooking.
Ingredients :-

 Semiya    1 cup
 Onion (finely chopped)    1 
 Tomato 1   
 Curry leaves  few  
 Green chillies (long slit)     2  
 Grean peas  ¼ cup 
 Oil  2 tbsp
 Mustard  ¼ tsp
 Channa dal  ¼ tsp
 Urad dal  ¼ tsp
   Method :-
-------------
1). Take 1 cup of semiya/vermicelli and lightly roast without oil and fry for few minutes till it turns light brown. (Optional) Keep aside.

2). Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan, add mustard, channa dal, Urad dal, curry leaves and  saute. When mustard splutters and dals turn slightly brown, add onions and green chillies. Saute until onions turns translucent.
3). Add green peas, salt and mix well. Add  2cups of water and let it boil.
4). After the water starts boiling, simmer the stove and add semiya.

Cook till all the water is absorbed and it becomes thick. (fully cooked).

Serve the tasty kichadi with coconut and kara chutney !!

Notes :- 
----------
# You can add the veggies of your choice. Like, Beans, carrot, green peas ,cauliflower,cabbage,potato. 
 
# Amount of water totally depends on the variety of semiya you use. For one cup of semiya it should be 1 - 1/2 to 2 cups of water. If u need more water add hot water.
 
# Don't add too much water then semiya will become soggy.
