    Just like coconut rice, thengai sevai is just different textured as we are using sevai in place of rice.

    I have used instant sevai that is available in stores, but you can make coconut sevai as per your convenience and preference, with fresh sevai or even you can make it with idiyappam.

    But I should say, thengai sevai is perfect recipe for the instant sevai. Though the pack (concord sevai) says to soak in hot water, I follow an extra step of steaming it for more softer result. Do try it out.

    Serve with hot mix veg sambar or tiffin sambar the best. I like it as such. I am not fan of pickle to something other than curd rice, but some say it goes well with this too.
