What Makes This Recipe a Better Noodle Choice 

Traditional noodles are often made primarily with refined flour. 

Prolicious Millet Vermicelli offers a millet-based alternative that can add more nutritional value to your everyday noodle dishes. Depending on the specific product formulation, it can provide protein and fibre while giving you the familiar noodle-like experience. 

Pairing it with vegetables, garlic, and a homemade sauce makes this recipe a more balanced way to enjoy a comforting noodle meal.

Why This Recipe Stands Out 

This recipe isn't just about noodles it's about building flavour in layers. 

It stands out because it: 

• Uses millet vermicelli instead of conventional refined-flour noodles 
• Gets its signature flavour from freshly cooked burnt garlic 
• Uses colourful vegetables 
• Balances sweet, spicy, salty, and tangy flavours 
• Comes together in one pan 
• Makes an easy homemade alternative to takeaway noodles

Ingredients You'll Need 

For the Vermicelli 

• 1 cup Prolicious Millet Vermicelli 
• Water for boiling 

For the Burnt Garlic Noodles 

• 1 tbsp butter 
• 1 tsp oil 
• 5–6 garlic cloves, finely chopped 
• ½ onion, sliced 
• ½ cup capsicum, sliced 
• 2 tbsp spring onion, chopped 

For the Sauce 

• 1 tbsp soy sauce 
• 1 tbsp tomato sauce 
• 1 tsp jaggery 
• 1 tsp chilli oil 
• Salt, if required 
• Black pepper or seasoning, to taste

Step-by-Step Method 

Step 1: Boil the Vermicelli 

Cook Prolicious Millet Vermicelli according to the package instructions. 

Drain well and keep aside. 

Step 2: Make the Burnt Garlic 

Heat butter and oil in a pan. 

Add the chopped garlic and cook until it turns golden and slightly crisp. 

Be careful not to burn it too much, as overly dark garlic can taste bitter. 

Remove the garlic and keep it aside. 

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables 

In the same pan, add the sliced onion and capsicum. 

Sauté for a few minutes while keeping the vegetables slightly crunchy. 

Step 4: Add the Burnt Garlic 

Add the cooked garlic back into the pan. 

Mix well with the vegetables.

Step 5: Make the Sauce 

Add the garlic then add soy sauce, tomato sauce, jaggery, and chilli oil. 

Mix everything well and let the sauces cook together for about a minute. 

The jaggery adds a subtle sweetness that balances the saltiness and spice. 

Step 6: Add the Vermicelli 

Add the boiled Prolicious Millet Vermicelli. 

Toss gently until the sauce coats every strand. 

Add chopped spring onion and give everything one final toss. 

Your juicy, flavourful Burnt Garlic Millet Vermicelli is ready to serve!

Health Benefits of the Key Ingredients 

Garlic – A Flavourful Superfood 

Garlic is more than just a flavouring ingredient. It contains sulphur-containing compounds, including allicin, which are responsible for its characteristic aroma and are being studied for their potential health-promoting properties. 

In this recipe, garlic does double duty it brings a delicious smoky aroma while adding nutritional value to the meal. 

Millet Vermicelli – A Smarter Noodle Alternative 

Replacing traditional refined-flour noodles with Prolicious Millet Vermicelli is an easy way to bring millet into your everyday meals. 

Millets can provide nutrients such as protein and fibre, depending on the product formulation. Combined with vegetables, they can help make a noodle-based meal more balanced and satisfying. 

Soy Sauce – Big Flavour in Small Amounts 

Soy sauce adds the signature savoury, umami flavour that makes Indo-Chinese dishes so irresistible. 

Because it is concentrated in flavour, a small amount can go a long way. If you're watching your sodium intake, use it moderately. 

Tomato Sauce – Tangy & Flavourful 

Tomato-based sauces add sweetness, acidity, and colour to the dish. The tomato flavour pairs particularly well with garlic and chilli. 

For a more everyday-friendly option, choose a tomato sauce with less added sugar when available. 

Jaggery – A Touch of Natural Sweetness 

A small amount of jaggery helps balance the salty and spicy flavours in the sauce. 

While jaggery is less processed than refined white sugar, it is still an added sugar, so moderation is key. 

Chilli Oil – Flavour & Heat 

Chilli oil brings warmth and depth to the noodles. It also helps create that classic restaurant-style finish. 

Adjust the quantity based on your spice preference.

FAQs 

Can I use regular vermicelli? 

Yes, but using Prolicious Millet Vermicelli gives the recipe a more wholesome millet-based twist. 

Why is my garlic bitter? 

The garlic may have been cooked at too high a temperature or for too long. Aim for golden-brown garlic rather than very dark brown garlic. 

Can I add more vegetables? 

Absolutely! Carrot, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, baby corn, and beans work beautifully. 

Can I add protein? 

Yes. Tofu, paneer, edamame, or cooked chicken can be added depending on your preference. 

Is this recipe suitable for lunch? 

Yes. With vegetables and millet vermicelli, it makes a convenient and satisfying lunch option.
