Curry leaves is a wonder herb and has its own health benefits. My family usually picks out curry leaves from any dish. So, I usually end up making some chutney out of it. Thengai karuveppilai Sevai is a quick and easy breakfast recipe made with rice noodles. I have added grounded curry leaves and it really enhances the flavors of the dish.
There are 2 ways to make sevai. You can use store bought rice noodles or you can make Sevai from scratch soaking rice and making rice flour at home:
- Clean and Soak 1 cup raw rice in water for 30-45 minutes. Drain the water and spread the rice on a clean towel.
- Grind the rice to make a fine powder. Sift the flour twice and spread it on a paper for 1 hour. Store it in a clean jar.
- Boil 1+1/2 cup water in a pan. Once water starts boiling, add a little salt and 1 cup of rice flour. Add it slowly and keep stirring to combine. Remove from stove and make hand size balls. Grease sevai press and add 2 balls. Press it on a idli plate and steam it for 5 minutes.
- You can temper this sevai as per your taste. I have also given instructions to make sevai using store bought rice noodles.
Coconut Sevai is easy to make and you can serve with any chutney of your choice. I have served it with some coriander chutney. I made some tomato uttapam too for my kid.
