SEVAI KHEER (DIET FRIENDLY)

SEVAI KHEER




Today is my husband's birthday,  In the morning, he said, make sevai kheer for dinner.  We do not have time in the morning as we have to rush to office by 7.00  - 7.10 am.  Hence we decided to have a simple meal at home only as during rainy season, we do not go out to eat.

Co-incidently, to day is Aadi month begins i.e. Karkatakam (Ashadam) so I made nei payasam and medu vada also for Neivedyam.  Recipe follows:
