PICKLED SEVAI

I have already posted three varieties of sevai.  One day, I was cleaning fridge, there was little lime pickle in a bottle.  For little amount of pickle, I have to keep one bottle in the fridge, so thought of emptying it.  Co-incidentally, I had made sevai for my daughter who likes to eat with sugar and milk.  I just mixed the pickle with the sevai, tempered with urid dal, mustard seeds and curry leaves, garnished with coriander leaves, loved it.  So the recipe is here.  very simple, tasty and easy to make.

You can use any kind of pickle.



other varieties of sevai:    limbu sevai,  amaranth sevaicoconut sevai, kothamalli sevai
