Method

Roast the vermicelli/semiya in a pan/kadai until they turn golden brown in colour. Transfer it to a plate and keep it aside.

Boil 2 cups of water along with salt in the same kadai, when it comes to rolling boil add the roasted vermicelli/semiya and keep stirring.

Let the vermicelli/semiya cook well, then switch off the stove and let it cool down.

After it cools down, add the curd, milk and mix really well. Adjust the amount of salt needed.

Heat oil in another pan, splutter mustard seeds, then add cumin seeds and Bengal gram dal. After the dal changes colour add green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, asafoetida and fry for another 2 minutes.

Add the raisins, cashew nuts and fry for another minute and then switch off the stove.

Add the tempering and chopped cilantro to the semiya/vermicelli and mix thoroughly.

Finally add any or all of the garnishings mentioned above and serve the delicious, healthy and filling thayir semiya either at room temperature or cold.

Yes, Thayir semiya is ready, that was surely easy right. Do try out this mouthwatering thayir semiya and enjoy your day.

Note:

• If you have the roasted vermicelli you can skip the first step and start cooking the vermicelli in water.
• The garnishings, I have mentioned are totally optional, you can skip them and serve the thayir semiya as it is.
• Adjust the amount of yogurt/curd/thayir and milk according to your preferred consistency.
• If you are going to prepare this thayir semiya in the morning itself to be served for lunch, then add 2 ½ cups of milk and 1 tbsp of yogurt, so that the semiya does not turn sour especially when you live in a hot place like India.
