    Seyun Patata or sewiyan aloo is a traditional Sindhi dish you will relish time and again. Sweet Vermicelli or seyun, is served with fried potatoes or patata for a perfect brunch. This is a typical Sindhi breakfast on a weekend. Just like Gujaratis love jalebi fafda, we Sindhi love our seyun patata. It is extremely popular with all ages. If you were to ask anyone about any special Sindhi food then this would in the top 3 recipes. Best part of this yummy treat is a perfect balance of sweet and salty. The flavor of crispy fried potatoes compliments the sweet vermicelli perfectly.

    Most communities only serve vermicelli as kheer or payasam but this is a great way to eat it Sindhi style without milk. It is somewhat similar to their use in Persia. You will find Persian sweets with fried vermicelli. Some people fry them and use it in baklava. Others fry and dip them in honey. Best part is you do not need too many steps in the recipe. Looks complex yet you can make  both the sweet and sour stuff at the same time.

    I have countless memories of this breakfast at my grandma's place.

No worry of calories and life's responsibilities.
