Sevai | idiyappam is a healthy South Indian breakfast. We make idiyappam and sevai from scratch. But nowadays we use instant rice noodles and make our favorite variety of sevai. My mom traditionally makes sevai from scratch. The taste and texture of this sevai are truly delicious. However, due to time constraints, we buy instant rice noodles. I used to buy Indian brands of rice sevai, but here in Hong Kong, we get a few good ones in the local shops too. Coming to the recipe, recently I made this for a friend’s birthday dinner get-together. Usually, I make sevai for Varalakshmi nombu gathering or for Navarati. So I decided to make this time using onion and garlic. I had lots of coriander leaves at home that day and made this Coriander peas sevai. It was a super hit at the party. Everyone loved it. I thought of documenting this recipe in Jeyashris kitchen. This recipe is made using simple ingredients like Instant rice noodles, coriander leaves, garlic, peas, and onions as key ingredients. You can serve this for dinner, evening tiffin, and breakfast too. Even this is perfect for the Lunch box too.
