Ande ke semiyah Jhinge ke Semiyah

Ramadan is considered one of the holiest months for Muslims because they fast through out the month and on the first day of the next month we celebrate the festival of ramadan. On that day, atleast in India the main dish is made of Semiyah or Vermicelli . And that dish is basically a sweet dish and it was first offered to God and then we all eat. And it was not one of my favourite. And my mom knew it. So she used to cook another dish with Semiyah, which we all loved . Hence we used to eat Egg Vermicelli and go and do our Ramadan Namaz or Prayers. Here is the recipe

I am also including two more variations of the dish, one with Shrimp and one with lamb
