Ingredients

  • 1 cup vermicelli / semiya
  • 3/4 cup curd chilled
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 4 whole cashews broken
  • 1/2 teaspoon ghee or butter
  • coriander leaves to garnish
  • 2 cups water
  • salt to taste

To Temper:

  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon urad dal
  • 1 green chillies finely chopped
  • a small sprig curry leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger finely chopped

Instructions

  • Dry roast vermicelli till slightly golden. Set aside.
  • Get ready with other ingredients. Boil water.
  • Add roasted vermicelli. Let it cook for few mins. Cook until semiya becomes soft.
  • Drain water and set aside to cool down completely.
  • Fluff it with a fork when it is still warm else it will become very sticky.
  • Heat ghee in a tadka pan , fry cashews till golden brown, Set aside.
  • Heat oil in the same pan and add the ingredients listed under ‘to temper’, let it splutter, switch off.
  • In a wide mixing bowl put cooked semiya, add curd, milk, tadka and fried cashews along with required salt and give a quick mix.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves.
  • Serve Curd Semiya chilled!

Notes

  • If it gets too dry, while serving add little milk / curd to loosen it up.
  • I add milk to avoid sourness but thats purely optional. If you are making and serving it at once then add only curd.
  • Curd Semiya thickens with time and semiya tends to absorb the curd. So reserve little curd for serving time.
  • You can even garnish with grated carrots.
