Masala idiyappam recipe | vegetable sevai recipe

Idiyappam | sevai |Rice noodles is a healthy south indian breakfast. We generally make this  for dinner too. My mom makes variety of idiyappam and she makes the basic idiyappam using the traditional sevai nazhi. I have already posted the recipe of  idiyappam but this one i made with instant rice sevai available in the stores. This is a simple recipe but can be made in less than 30 minutes, serves as a perfect breakfast |week night dinner too. I have used Concord, Double horse brand of instant sevai few times. Both worked out very well for me. If you know any other brand works out well for you, please mention in the comment section.

    • Yes sevai and semiya are 3 different things..u can make sevai using instant sevai packet or soak rice put it as idly and squeeze it in sevai hand machine..

  1. Anil sevai works out well too. You can soak it in water for about 15 minutes , drain the water and use it in the above recipe. You get 3 variants, rice, ragi & wheat sevai & I use wheat sevai.

  2. Hi jeyashri.. Tried this recipe yesterday and it came out really well..thanks for sharing such a colorful and different recipe..liked the idea of using sambar powder which enhanced the flavor.
