Recipe and Photo Courtesy: Padmini, Srinivasan (my parents)
Sevai noodles from scratch
Ingredients:
1 cup boiled rice
salt, hing 4 dashes
3 tsp coconut oil
Soak boiled rice for 4 hrs. Drain, rinse and grind to a fine batter adding water. The batter should be like that of idly batter consistency. Add salt and hing to the batter and mix well. Heat coconut oil in a kadai, add the batter and stir continuously till dry and becomes like a ball. Pinch out tennis balls sized dough and place them in idly plates. Steam for 20 minutes. When the balls are still hot place them in a sevai press and press through till the noodles are collected at the base plate.

4 cups fresh sevai/ cooked instant sevai
2 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp channa dal
1 sprig curry leaves

1 cup coconut gratings
Salt to taste
If you are using instant sevai, cook the noodles in a hot pot of water and drain. Keep aside.
Add coconut oil in a kadai. Splutter mustard seeds. Add the dals and nuts.
When the dals get brown, add 1 cup of coconut gratings and salt. Stir for a minute.
Add sevai noodles and mix evenly.

Note: Boiled peas (handful) can be added as garnish
