Directions

  1. Heat a deep, dry skillet over medium heat. Add vermicelli, cook and stir until lightly toasted, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  2. Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add peanuts and cashews to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  3. Add chiles, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds to the skillet. Cook and stir until chiles are slightly tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Add onion and salt. Cover and cook until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add water and bring to a boil. Add vermicelli, peanuts, and cashews to the skillet and stir continuously to avoid lumps, about 1 minute.
