Sweet Sevai (Rice Noodles flavored with jaggery and coconut)
Sevai - A type of rice noodles, is a light tiffin/snack item flavored with lemon, coconut or jaggery. Today I am posting the sweet version using jaggery.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- Instant Rice Noodles - 200 grams
- Coconut - 1/2 cup
- Jaggery - 3/4 cup
- Cardamom - 1/4 tsp
- Ghee - 1 tsp
- Cashews - a handful
- Raisins (optional) - 2 tsp
Method:
Immerse rice noodles in boiling hot water for 2 minutes and drain.
In another pan, roast cashews and raisins and set aside. In the same pan, fry coconut till it turns light golden brown.
Mix jaggery with 1/4 cup water and cardamom. Heat the mixture till jaggery dissolves in water and starts to thicken. It will take about 5 minutes. Filter the jaggery water to remove any stones.
Now mix the rice noodles, coconut, jaggery syrup and cashews and toss well.
Serve warm.
My close friend, Sharmi insisted that I should send some snack item for her event. I thought I will send this recipe.
