Sevai

Sevai or rice noodles in English is one of the favorite tiffin item my mom makes.We have this sevai nazhi at home.She makes lovely soft sevai's.It will be fun to do it.But it gets really hard after 3-4 rounds of pressing it when the dough cools down.

Since i don't have it here i bought ready made rice sevai & made variety sevais with it.Nothing like the home made sevai's though.
