For most of the south Indians, meal will not
complete without yogurt especially for lunch. When it comes to summer food
theme the list will be incomplete without yogurt or curd. I know for south
Indians its very simple and easy dish but couple of my friends asked for this
recipe. This is one of the most wanted foods during our college days, my lunch
box use to vanish in minutes.

Directions:
- Dry roast vermicelli for 3- 5 minutes or until it start to change color. Keep stirring or else it will turn brown in bottom. Turn off the stove and transfer to another bowl and allow it to cool.
- In another pan, heat a tablespoon of oil, saute green chilies, onion, ginger, curry leaves and few cilantro.
- Once the onions turn light brown, add two cups of water and enough salt. Close the lid and allow it to boil.
- When the water starts boiling add the roasted vermicelli and mix well, turn the heat to medium and again close the lid and cook until water is absorbed (vermicelli will also cook).
- Turn off the stove and allow it to cool. Once it comes to room temperature add yogurt and milk mix well without any lumps.
- Now heat another teaspoon of oil splutter the ingredients under temper, when it turns golden brown add to the vermicelli.
- Finally add all the ingredients under garnish and mix them well. Serve with any pickle.
Note:
- For garnishing you can add grated carrot and pomegranate (I didn’t get on that day) which gives crunchiness.
- You can add the ingredients under temper when your sautéing the onions. If you’re serving immediately, if you are planning to serve after few hours then do the tempering before serving.
- If you feel it’s thicker add some milk or yogurt. It can be refrigerated before serving.
