Thayir Semiya
INGREDIENTS
Vermicelli 1 cup
Water 3 cups
Oil 2 tsp
Mustard seeds 1 tsp
 Black gram dhal 1 tsp
 Bengal gram dhal 1 tsp
Asafoetida 1/4 tsp
 Green chillies 3
Curry leaves few
 Milk 1/2 cup
Curd/Yogurt 1/2-3/4 cup
Salt to taste
 PREPARATION
Cook the vermicelli in water till it becomes soft. Drain the water and keep the cooked vermicelli aside
 Cut the chillies finely
Mix the milk and curd with the vermicelli well. This will have a very mushy texture and tastes better this way
Heat a pan with oil.When it heats up sufficiently add the mustard seeds. Once they crackle add the blackgram and bengalgram dhal, asafoetida and green chillies. Add this temper to the prepared semiya/vermicelli
Served best when cool. I keep it in the refrigerator for some time before serving
