Notes

  1. You can add urad dal while tempering
  2.  Grated Carrots and coriander leaves can also be used for garnish
  3.  Instead of adding milk, you can cook in water and add curd after Semiya comes to room temperature 
  4. The dish can also be served without refrigerating
  5. If it consumed after a longtime curd semiya might become thick. Add curd/water/ milk accordingly
  6. I have used roasted semiya, so I have not roasted it again. If you are using regular Semiya roast and add
  7. Use ginger while tempering if you don't have ginger powder
  8.  Always use soft dates. if dates are hard microwave for a minute and use
