How to cook instant rice noodles / sevai perfectly :
Cooking instant rice noodles is very easy. But take care not to overcook. Else they become mushy. So do follow the instructions given on the packet carefully to get the perfect non-sticky noodles.
Once sevai is cooked, rinse under cold water & drain water completely. Spread sevai on a big plate and set aside to cool. Rinsing under cold water helps in reducing the temperature of sevai quickly and preventing them from overcooking.
I normally use dragon brand rice sevai as it doesn’t require very careful observation. By mistake in case, even if you overcook for a minute or two, it doesn’t get that mushy.
Other brands available in the market are Concorde, MTR, Anil, TTK, double horse etc you can try and see which one you like.
The base masala of this is almost the same as Tomato rice. A bhaji kind of masala is made using tomatoes, veggies and few spices and later mixed with precooked sevai. One can make sevai from scratch like idiyappam or ottu shavige and later spiced up. But it calls for a lot of procedure and time.
These instant rice noodles make our life so easy …hardly takes 15 mins to make. Sound’s interesting right? So are you ready to make a note of this Tomato Sevai Recipe … Here we go …
