Semiya Biryani

Semiya biryani, also known as vermicelli biryani or seviyan biryani, is a flavorful and simple Indian dish that combines the textures of biryani rice with the thin, delicate strands of vermicelli. Biryani is a popular South Asian rice dish known for its fragrant spices and rich flavors, often made with various meats, vegetables, or seafood and even with paneer, mushrooms, soya chunks etc. Semiya biryani is a variation of this classic dish where vermicelli is used as the main ingredient instead of rice.

It’s often served with onion raita (yogurt dip) or a simple salad. You can alternate the recipe by adding your choice of vegetables, nuts, and spices to suit your taste preferences.
