Method

*First, boil the roasted vermicelli in 2 cups of water. Drain it and spread on a colander.
*Pass cold water through it. This ensures that the vermicelli does not become sticky. Keep it aside and let it cool down.
*Heat a kadhai/wok and add oil. Add the peanuts and roast till they turn brown. Remove and keep aside.
*In the same kadhai, add some oil and mustard seeds. After it splutters, add the other ingredients meant for tempering.
*Add the boiled vermicelli and mix everything. Add salt to taste and mix.
*Finally, add curd and mix well.

Curd semiya makes for a light and healthy lunch, said Doshi.
