Semiyyah – A healthy sweet
by:
Semiyyah is a vermicelli pasta made of wheat. The dish in the original language are variously known as seviyan in Urdu and Hindi, shemai in Bengali, sevin Gujarati, shavige in Kannada, sevalu or semiya in Telugu, and semiya in Tamil and Malayalam. It is a favourite in muslim homes during weddings and Ramadhan, the holy month of fasting. There are many variations of this dish, but this version is one of my favourites. This dish uses roasted roasted fine long vermicelli. Semiyyah can be eaten by itself as a dessert or take it to another level served with a dollop of whipped cream or Vanilla ice cream. Cadriyad (pronounced 'Aadriyad - the 'c' denotes a glotal 'a' sound) is the Somalian name of the dish. The word adriyad comes from the Arabic ????? which is what this sweet vermicelli dish is called in Yemen. In the other parts of the Arab world it is known as ?????? (shairiyah).
