Ingredients

2 Cups Instant Sevai Crushed
6 Leaves Curry Leaves
1 Pepper Green Chili Pepper Or to taste
1 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
1 Pinch Asafoetida (Hing)
1 Teaspoon Ginger Crushed
1 Tablespoon Cashew nuts
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt Or to taste
1 Tablespoon Rice Bran Oil
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

Add crushed instant sevai to a bowl, top it with boiling water, set a lid and leave it aside for 3-5 minutes. Drain water.
Heat oil in a pan on stove top. Add cashews and cook for a minute or so, till they are slightly brown. Now add curry leaves, mustard seeds, ginger, hing, turmeric powder, salt, and mix well.
Add cooked sevai, lemon juice, mix well, and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a container.
Add half cup water to and set the cooked sevai container inside. Set lid and turn cooker on. Once done, fluff it with a fork. (Note: this step is optional - I like to do this as it helps make the sevai more fluffy)
Transfer to a bowl or plate and enjoy hot sevai with your favorite chutney.

Notes

Tastes great by itself or with tomato chutney- serve hot.
