Your blog is wonderful with so many traditional recipes. Excellent work.
this is called semiya bagala bhaath in karnataka. My father used to make this for us when we were kids. You reminded me of my younger days thanks for that.
I sometimes prepare this for my buffet dinners.
Aunty, should we cook semiya like we cook pasta (drain water to make sure they don't become sticky and mushy) or like we do upma (let them mush-up). I'm planning to make this for a pot-luck.. so should I add the curd just before serving? Thanks very much.
Hi Sukri
We need to cook semiya like upma. We should not drain water. 1:2 ratio will cook the semiya completely. We should add curd at last just before servings to avoid over souring.
