Instant Semiya Ponganalu

BM #69 Week 4 Day 2 - 

On a lazy weekend, I was at my wit's end to make some snack in the late afternoon with tea. My folks rejected all ideas of samosa, pakora and other fried goodies, which came as a surprise to me.

They asked me to make something new and healthy, which I thought was so out of character for them. I was sure they were up to some mischief and so they wanted me to be out of their way :). 

Anyway, since I had a little time to plan and make these, I decided to flip through some of my bookmarks and hand written notes. These vermicelli ponganalu caught my eye and so I made these. They were well appreciated by all of them and was promptly added to the 'make again' list :).

Instant Semiya Ponganalu

Method Of Preparation -


Roast semiya and wheat rava separately until they turn golden brown. Set aside.

In a heated pan, add oil and the rest of the seasoning. After the mustard seeds pop and the dals are golden brown, saute onions and carrots for a few minutes. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add the roasted semiya, wheat rava, the seasoning mixture, salt, green chili-ginger paste and yogurt.

Mix gently adding as much water as needed to make a thick batter (comparable to idli batter). Set aside for 10-15 minutes.

Heat a paniyaram pan and drizzle oil in each of the slots.

Drop 2 teaspoonfuls of batter in each slot, cover and let it cook for a couple minutes. Flip them and cook for a minute or so.

Remove and continue with the rest of the batter.

Serve with any chutney of your choice.
