Anil rice semiya, also known as idiyappam noodles, are thin vermicelli made from rice flour. Popular in South Indian cuisine, they're known for their soft, translucent texture and mild flavor. The rice batter is extruded into thin strands and steam-cooked, resulting in a versatile ingredient for sweet or savory dishes.
Savory uses: Anil rice semiya can be stir-fried with vegetables and spices for a flavorful side dish or used in soups and curries for a textural contrast. They're also commonly used for savory breakfast dishes like idiyappam, steamed rice cakes that pair well with sambar or chutney.
Sweet uses: Rice semiya can be sweetened with milk, sugar, and nuts for a delicious payasam, a South Indian pudding. They can also be deep-fried to create a crispy sweet snack similar to jalebi.
