Ingredients
Semiya - 1 cup
Green chilly - 1 Slitted
Onion - 1 big
Mustard - 1 tsp
Channa Dal - 1 tblsp
Urud dal -1 tsp
Curry Leaves - 1 spring
Water - 2 cups
Oil - 2 tblsp

Preparation
1. Roast Semiya in 1 tsp oil. If you are using ready made roasted type skip this step.
2. Heat oil in pan and temper with Mustard seeds followed by urud dal, channa dal, curry leaves, green chilly. Add Chopped onion and fry till its cooked and turn to pink color.(No need of golden brown color!)
3.  Add salt, water and allow it to boil. Add Hing and roasted vermicelli and mix well. Close the pan and cook for  about 5 min. Stir well and once water is absorbed and semiya is cooked switch off the stove. Serve hot with sugar!

Note:
1) Add Hot water which saves time and increase taste. Even if you are using roasted vermicelli roast for few sec and add it hot rather than adding them as such. over roasting might end up burning them.
2) You can also add finely chopped/grated veggies like carrot , beans, or cooked peas for a variation!
