Vermicelli is an interesting variant of the pasta. Similar to angel hair pasta, which is what it’s also called in Vietnam, the vermicelli is thicker than spaghetti in Italy but thinner in most other English-speaking nations.
However, what’s common between all vermicelli-eating nations is that this traditional form of pasta can make some really tasty dishes. It’s added to rice in Egypt, fried in butter and then added to milk and sugar, and in India, where it’s also called sevaiyaan, it’s a popular ingredient that goes into the making of upma – a savory dish – or even in kheer. Needless to say that this pasta is popular across the world. Here’s a list to help you choose from different types of vermicelli.
