There is a subtle difference between Indian style noodles and Indo-Chinese style noodles. It is all about the sauces and spices we add. There is no garam masala used in Indo-chinese style noodles.

I have done it quite similar to Indo-Chinese noodles recipe actually as me and my kid like in that way. Yes, I have added soya sauce and tomato sauce.

2. Dry roast whole wheat flour in a pan only till nice aroma comes. Switch off immediately. Don't burn it. Transfer the wheat flour to a mixing bowl and add required salt(1 or 2 pinches and not more than that). Give a quick stir to get the salt mixed with the whole wheat flour.
3. Boil water in a pan in medium-high flame. Allow the bubbles to come vigorously. Switch off the stove. Add this boiling water to the mixing bowl immediately.
4. Mix the whole wheat flour and water with a spoon till you can handle the noodles dough with your hand. Once the wheat flour mixture becomes warm, you can start kneading with your hands. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil when you start kneading with your hands. If you do not have olive oil, you can use sunflower oil. But olive oil gives nice aroma and taste. So, I recommend using olive oil.
5. Knead and make a soft chapathi like dough. By this time, the whole wheat flour has become semi-cooked by the hot water and the raw taste of the whole wheat flour must have gone.
6. Take the murukku press and multiple holes plate as shown in picture in the next section. Do not choose the one with very small holes. Otherwise it will become like idiyappam. Grease the press and plate with any oil.
7. Place the wheat flour noodles dough inside the press.
8. Take our regular idli pot. For our quantity of wheat noodles dough, we might need 2-3 idli plates. Grease the plates with oil.
9. Start pressing the wheat noodles dough on the plate. Do not overcrowd it. 
10. Pour enough water inside the idli pot and place the plates with whole wheat noodles dough on it.
11. Keep it closed and boil the idli pot in medium flame. It will take around 6-7 minutes approximately to get the wheat flour noodles dough cooked well. Switch off the stove. Open the pot and taste one string of noodles and check whether the wheat flour noodles is cooked well. If not cooked well, cook the wheat noodles dough for few more minutes.
12. Transfer the cooked noodles to a pan. Add enough cold water to soak the noodles. Start separating the noodles from each other. You will find it quite easy to separate them. Drain the excess water.
13. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan. You can take sunflower oil too. I recommend using olive oil.
14. Add onion slices and saute till they turn translucent.
15. Add carrot, capsicum and cabbage slices and add required salt. We have already added salt for wheat noodles dough. So, you have to add salt only for vegetables now.
16. Sprinkle little water now and then and saute till the vegetables become half-cooked. If you are making it for very little kids, you can completely cook the vegetables.
17. Add soya sauce, tomato sauce, green chilli sauce now. In high flame, mix them well with the vegetables and turn the flame to simmer. 
18. Add the wheat flour noodles now to the pan. Mix well without breaking the noodles till the noodles get coated with the sauces. Do not overcook the vegetable noodles. Now, your veg noodles made with wheat flour is ready to serve. 

Notes:

1. You can replace green chilli sauce with 1 green chilli. Slit it and add along with onion when you saute. You can also use red chilli powder which you have to add when you add vegetables. You can add 1/2 to 1 tsp as per your requirement.

2. You can replace green chilli sauce with sweet and spicy sauce. I have used 1/2 tbsp of Kissan sweet and spicy sauce and 1.5 tbsp of tomato sauce.

3. You can sprinkle pepper powder if you like. I did not add.

Important Notes to get Non-sticky Noodles:

1. Mix generous amount of oil while kneading the noodles dough. I recommend using olive oil.
2. Remove the plates from idli pot as soon as the whole wheat flour noodles is cooked. 
3. Transfer the noodles from idli plates to cold water immediately.
4. Keep it inside cold water till you add them in the final step with veggies.

Now, let us see the instructions with step by step pictures.
