These fried noodles are a popular breakfast dish in South India, but of course, curry-spiced noodles make a great meal at any time of the day! Frying the dry semiya (vermicelli) in advance adds a deep, nutty flavour, and helps to keep the noodles separate in this really easy and satisfying Curry Legend meal.
