Ingredients
- Vermicelli (semiya) (1 cup)
- Semolina (suji) (2 cups)
- Curd (1 cup)
- Freshly grated coconut (nariyal) (1 cup)
- Green chillies (hari mirch) ( 3–4)

- Onion, finely chopped (1)
- Clarified butter (ghee) (1 tsp)
- Oil (3–4 tbsp)

Method
- Dry roast semolina on medium heat for 5 mins. Also, beat the curd and keep it aside.
- Next, sauté vermicelli in 1 tsp of ghee and then cook it in ½ cup of water and set aside.
- Now add the roasted semolina and curd to the vermicelli mixture along with grated coconut, finely chopped green chillies, grated ginger, cumin seeds, finely chopped onion and salt.
- Heat a tawa and add one dollop of batter in the centre. Slowly, spread it like a dosa. Add 2–3 drops of oil around the batter.
