Kambu sweet semiya recipe, Kambu sweet vermicelli

Kambu sweet semiya/ Kambu sweet vermicelli is a simple and very easy to make breakfast/ snack/ tiffin made with handful ingredients. I had Earlier posted savory version of kambu vermicelli, so this post is just continuation of that as both savory and sweet dish makes excellent combo as breakfast. So what is this kambu that I am talking about here?As mentioned in the old post Kambu/ Bajra/ Sajjalu also known as pearl millet is rich in minerals, serves as excellent source of protein and has high amounts of iron content. So incorporating it in our diet adds to our health benefits so this is one such simplest and yummiest way. I used ANIL BRAND vermicelli for this recipe which is easily available in stores.. I cooked very little quantity as it is sweet version and we are not big fans of any sweet so I steamed semiya/ vermicelli in one pot for both sweet and savory version( in the steaming picture the quantity will be more) but the below mentioned quantity is for sweet vermicelli. So lets get to the making!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!
