Notes

You can roast the semiya in ghee. Dry roasting is key and important step to get the vermicelli fluffy and separate

Don't keep stirring after adding semiya. That will make the semiya mushy. Just stir once and close and cook. Finally fluff it up gently.

You can add chana dal while tempering. I skipped it since kids will pick them out.

You can add little pepper powder for spiciness.
