LIME SEVAI, LIMBU SEVAI

Lime sevai is made out of sevai readily available.  I used Anil Brand sevai.  You can use also Concord Brand.   This sevai is made for the breakfast.  We can serve it with Morukootan, chutney, sambar etc.  Variegates of  sevai is made apart from lime sevai viz. coconut sevai, amaranth sevai, pickled sevai, plain sevai etc.  If you buy the ready made packet, it is very easy to prepare.  If you opt for the home made one, then the process is bit lengthy but the end product is heavenly.
