Semiya Kesari Recipe | Vermicilli Kesari Recipe

Tips for making Semiya Kesari:

1. Ghee roast the semiya till till you get a nice aroma and the semiya becomes light brown color. If you have roasted semiya, then ghee roast the roasted semiya till you get a nice smell without making it dark brown.
2. Unlike Rava, semiya gets little more time to get cooked. First cook the semiya with water and then add sugar.
3. Add more water than we use for upma. For Semiya upma we usually add 2 cups for 1 cup of semiya. But for this kesari, add 1/2 cup more water while cooking semiya. Because the cooked semiya becomes more firm after adding sugar.
4. Add more ghee if you like ghee-dripping consistency.
