Idiyappam | sevai |Rice noodles is a healthy south indian breakfast. We generally make this for dinner too. My mom makes variety of idiyappam and she makes the basic idiyappam using the traditional sevai nazhi. I have already posted the recipe of idiyappam but this one i made with instant rice sevai available in the stores. This is a simple recipe but can be made in less than 30 minutes, serves as a perfect breakfast |week night dinner too. I have used Concord, Double horse brand of instant sevai few times. Both worked out very well for me. If you know any other brand works out well for you, please mention in the comment section.

ReplyDeleteAnil sevai works out well too. You can soak it in water for about 15 minutes , drain the water and use it in the above recipe. You get 3 variants, rice, ragi & wheat sevai & I use wheat sevai.
