- after straining pour plenty of cool water on it to avoid sticking.
- after straining within 5-10 mins take a bowl and add strained semiya.donot dry it for long time as how we do lemon rice. now immediately add squeezed lemon juice and seasoning and mix well. if u like u can add chopped coriander .
- after 15 mins u can have ur semiya pulihora.
- if u feel that adding turmeric in boiling water may cause stains to bowl then u can add turmeric in seasoning itself.

I got a prob here ya.. My semiya isnt coming nicely.. i mean semiya is sticky yaa.. dont know wat to do... and i am still a learner :(((
1) let water boil fully then add semiya and it doesnt take more than 2 to 3 mins to get semiya boiled . If u overcook here then semiya will stick .
2)As soon as semiya is boiled strain it and pour cool water on it and strain it and immediately take it in to a bowl and add tadka and lemon juice and mix well . serve after 10 mins .
Follow my tips and try again .
Cheers,
preethi
