Semiya when  fortified with vegetables they make a meal by itself. Vegetable Semiya  is one of my favorite dish.I prefer anil semiya and without tarka(thaalithal in tamil)  . I have used vegetables(carrot and potato) but you can even make plain dish without vegetables or with your favorite veggies too.Its an easy to cook and tasty to eat recipe.
