How to make delicious Vermicelli (Sewai) Poha

Here I come with another food which is easy to prepare & good for health as well.  Vermicelli (Sewai) Poha is a very regular foodstuff which I cook in 15 mins for office/breakfast. It is similar to the famous South Indian breakfast dish, also known as Semiya Upma or Vermicelli Upma. It is so light that you can snack it all day if you feel so. You can make it using rava, vermicelli, poha, sabudana, oats, or millets.
