Instructions
Sevai steps
- I just follow the instructions, cooking time mentioned in the back of the sevai pack.
- Soak in hot water for 15-20 mins. After that, it will be soft and dry absorbing all the water.
- Now you can use this in the recipe as such or steam it one more time for more moist and softer results.
- Chop onion, tomato finely, carrots very finely and slit green chillies.
- Temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table in order.
- Fry onion till transparent, add the carrots, fry for a minute.
- Add chopped tomatoes, sambar powder/ red chilli powder, turmeric and salt.
- Mix well and cook until mushy. Add the chopped coriander leaves. Switch off the flame.
- Add cooked sevai and mix well. Check for salt, add ghee or sesame oil to top it. Give 2 minutes standing time before serving.
Notes
- You can add Garam masala powder if you like that smell. We don't like in this particular recipe, so I don't add.
- Also chopped garlic can be added along with onions.
