Semiya/Vermicelli Pakora




This is a great idea of using left over semiya or trying to finish the last bit of semiya packet. Semiya or also known as vermicelli is, widely use in Indian desserts. For a change you can make a savoury snack out of it. I have some semiya waiting to be used sitting quite sometime on my pantry shelf. Since, no mood for making payasam or other sweets, decided to make a simple and easy tea time snack for the girls. Nothing is as easy as pakora ☺️. Added few ingredients with the boiled semiya and there you go crispy,crunchy,savoury snack which can be prepared in a jiffy. Goes well with a dipping and i served them with sweet and tangy mango chutney.

Ingredients

1 cup vermicelli/semiya, broken
1/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup gram/besan flour
1/4 tsp turmeri powder
1/2 tsp red chilly powder
1 onion,sliced
1 green chilly,chopped
2 sprig curry leaves
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Methods

In a bowl, add rice flour,gram flour and broken semiya. Mix well.

Add turmeric powder,chilly powder and salt. Stir well.

Add sliced onion,chilly and curry leaves. Mix to combine

Heat oil in a frying pan and sprinkle the semiya mixture. Fry till golden.
