What it is

MTR traces its roots to the Mavalli Tiffin Room, opened in Bengaluru in 1924 by Yagnanarayana Maiya, which is widely credited with inventing rava idli during a wartime rice shortage. MTR Foods is still headquartered in Bengaluru.

This is its roasted semiya, made from wheat semolina and durum wheat flour. Because it is already roasted, it goes straight into the pan for payasam, sheer khurma or upma, with no dry-roasting first. Choosing between vermicelli? MTR roasted for payasam and upma; Anil rice vermicelli for lemon or coconut sevai; Anil ragi vermicelli for a darker, earthier upma.

Tip: For payasam, still fry the semiya in a spoon of ghee for a minute. The strands hold their shape in the milk instead of going mushy.

Goes well with: GRB Pure Ghee, Heera Cashew Nuts, Manna Jaggery Powder 350g

WHEAT SEMOLINA,Durum WHEAT flour (ATTA).
