@khattichic

Khatti’s hubby is a 100% karachiite and khattis maternal and paternal families left Hyderabad for a pit stop in Karachi before settling in Amreeka so khatti’s ties to Karachi are therefore established and it’s still dahi barray and there is no “**m” **​in Savaiyan

@sweefs

guys help a brotha out here pls.

seeing as we had an issue on how to pronounce the desi vermicelli dessert dish (“semviyan” versus “sehviyan”) - okies i had an issue

now the question is:

is it “dahi bhallay” or “dahi barray”

?!?!

semviyan and dahi bhalley is Punjabi and thats what I call these but in urdu its sawayyaaN and dahi barrey

Dahi phulki is dahi with boondi(pakoriya) in it.

I say dahi pullay and seviya. I think this is the punjabi way. And the other words r Urdu so u can't really say which one is right/wrong way of saying it.

Re: another year, another debate on pronunciations

bhallay if you are punjabi and barray if you are karachian.

Damn my small screen. That was supposed to be an up vote.

@ op I'm punjabi and we say bhallay. So I think it depends on where you are from.

As long as the letter **M **is there, doesn’t matter if it is Semiya or Semiyaan.
OP meant Semviyan vs Seviyaan not Semiya vs Semiyaan. :halo: #usebrainnotankle](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=usebrainnotankle)

Re: another year, another debate on pronunciations

Okay, so “saim” or “saym” are green beans. Now every time I hear seymiyan I think someone’s made a dessert out of green beans

Re: another year, another debate on pronunciations

Err...the word bhallay annoys me. I say dahi baray.

And for the vermicelli, I pronounce it as suh-vaiy-yan too...similar to the name sumaiyya in terms of how syllables are broken down.

You are wrong on all counts.

So what else is new?

Re: another year, another debate on pronunciations

In our home..we say Dahil Bhallay...grew up calling that. Dahir barayyy sounds weird to me. Like..what baray..?lol
And..yaa..it's su-uhvaiayah...

@khattichic

Dahi Barray

Suh-vay-yan

Everyone in my part of the world calls it Dahi Barray and Sivaiyan. But my Paki cousins call it Dahi bhallay.
