What it is

Anil was founded in 1984 and started out making roasted vermicelli, so this is the line the brand was built on. The semiya is made from wheat semolina and comes already roasted to a light golden brown, so there is no dry-roasting step before it goes in the pan.

The 900 g bag is for a house that makes semiya upma most weeks and payasam for every birthday and function. The strands cook soft in a few minutes and take a tempering or sweetened milk equally well. Choosing between vermicelli? Anil Roasted for everyday upma and payasam; Anil Ragi Vermicelli for a darker, earthier plate; Anil Rice Vermicelli for lemon or coconut sevai.

Tip: For payasam, fry a handful in a spoon of ghee for a minute before the milk goes in. The ghee smell carries through the whole pot.

Goes well with: Heera Cashew Nuts, Swaad Green Cardamom, Heera Curry Leaves

Wheat semolina.
