Rice Sevai

Rice Sevai is another Mangalore specialty and one of my favorite breakfast fares. Here's a simple recipe.

Ingredients:
1 packet Rice sevai
5-6 red chillies
2 tsps of oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp gram
1 tsp tur dal
A few curry leaves
Coriander leaves to garnish, salt to taste

Method:
Boil 3 cups of water and add the rice sevai to it. Allow it to cook for five minutes. Remove and transfer to a strainer and allow the water to drain completely. Heat oil in a pan seperately, add mustard seeds, curry leaves and the two dals. When it starts spluttering, add the red chillies. Finally add the sevai (ensure that it is completely dry). Cook for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

A nice Sunday morning breakfast.
