*Please don over cook the Semiya.

* Without microwave, jus boil the semiya with water until they turn transparent and drain the the water before adding curd.

* If ur curd is very sour add more milk to reduce the  sourness.

This is really a happy substitute to curd rice. Ppl who love curd rice will love this too 🙂
