• Cook in a low flame till the raw smell goes.

• Once it is cooked, add the scrambled paneer to this. (put the panner in hot water for 10 minutes and drain the water. Mash with your hands to get scrambled paneer)

• Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cooked sevai to this.

• Mix gently and let it cook in a low flame for 2 minutes. Switch off the flame and garnish with coriander leaves.

Notes:

1. Instead of using store bought ready made sevai, you can use home made idiyappam too.
2. Finely chopped carrot, frozen green peas can also be added to this. 
3. If you do not have fennel powder add 1/4 tsp of fennel seeds(sombu) while adding the mustard seeds.
