Paneer Kambu sevai / Semiya recipe is an easy breakfast dish that if both filling and nutritious.
Millets are available in many forms here. Whole millets , parboiled millets,Millet flour, Millet semiya, millet noodles etc.
I often but kambu sevai / ragi sevai and prepare a quick breakfast using these. This sevai is also called Semiya and is a popular dish around here.

A healthy twist to the traditional semya by incorporating millet and paneer in the dish. It must have tasted amazing.
