  Hi, R's recipe is good. My mother-in-law used to make this on Ekadasi days and she used to roast the semiya in ghee. SHe also used to add grated carrots and grated mango to this. I used to finish off the leftovers initially and thenshe started making an additional portion for me on Ekadasi days! :) (I am very lucky to have wonderful in-laws who pamper me more than my parents ever did!)

  Thanks R and D. But i'm actually looking for the recipe of the curd vermicelli which is served during the marriage functions at dinner garnished with grapes. Can anyone help me with this? But sure will try the one you have suggested R and D.

  Hello Kavi,
  It is similar to the above recipes. I will give you my version. Fry the vermicelli in ghee until light brown. Add it to a pot of boiling water along with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of oil. Boil for 5 minutes. Take the pot off the heat and drain the vermicelli in a colander. Run cold water on the vermicelli in the colander immediately to cool it completely. Now get seasoning ready with mustard, urad dal, asafoetida, green chillies. When the seasoning is almost ready, add finely chopped ginger (1 tablespoon) and fry for a minute. Mix this along with curry leaves and chopped cilantro to the cooled vermicelli. Finally add grated English cucumbers (1/2 cup for every cup of vermicelli), green grapes (and optionally fresh pomegranate kernels) to this. Add a tablespoon of butter for flavor optionally. Mix with salt and fresh yoghurt finally. If you are not serving immediately, you are well advised to dilute your yoghurt with milk to prevent sourness.
  Let me know if this recipe works for you.

  Hello Ashley and D,
  I tried the recipe, it came out well. Combained both of your suggestion and made one(following the method of Ashley and added shredded carrots as D said instead of cucumber).
  Thanks again Ashley and D!
