What it is

Anil was founded in 1984 and started out making roasted vermicelli. This is its plain wheat semiya, and the pack gives the blend: 70% samba wheat flour and 30% maida (refined wheat flour).

Samba wheat is the South Indian name for a hard, slightly darker wheat, so the strands have a little more colour and bite than an all-maida semiya. It cooks in three to four minutes and works for upma and payasam alike. Choosing between Anil semiyas? Wheat for everyday upma and payasam; Anil Roasted Vermicelli if you want to skip roasting; Varagu or Cholam for a millet version.

Tip: For a toastier upma, roast it in a teaspoon of ghee until it smells nutty, then cook as usual.

Goes well with: GRB Pure Ghee, Heera Black Mustard Seeds, Heera Cashew Nuts
