Masala Sevai Recipe

For the final day of quick meal theme, here is one dish that is so versatile. Instead of making idiyappam and preparing variety dishes, we have ready made sevai which is so easy to make and very tasty. You can call it the south Indian noodles. Each company gives you different instructions to prepare them. So it is better to prepare it following the packet instructions. The addition of flavours come next where you can use your imagination. You can just add grated coconut to the cooked sevai and serve it with sugar, or serve with sweetened coconut milk or make lemon sevai, masala sevai or sevai bagalabath. These are just some basic vaieties you can make with sevai. The list is endless.

For the masala sevai I added some spices like I add in pulao and it turned out so delicious. I served it with coconut chutney. You can also serve it with raitha and cucumber slices. Plan ahead for completing this within 30 minutes. While the sevai is cooking, prepare the masala and once the sevai is drained, add it to the cooking masala and your masala sevai is ready. While everything is cooking, make sure to finish the side dish also. Chutney or raitha, it will take merely 5 minutes to put together. This will also make a great lunch box treat for your kid.
