Spicy Seviyan

Ingredients

• 1 cup Roasted sevai (vermicelli)
• 2 tbsp Oil
• 0.25 tsp Mustard seeds
• 0.25 tsp Cumin seeds
• 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
• 1 unit/count Onions
• 1 unit/count Tomatoes
• 1 tsp Curd (For a vegan version, use lemon juice instead of curd.)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Red chilli powder
• 0.5 tsp Turmeric
• 0.25 tsp Garam masala
• 1 cup Boiling water (Use hot boiling water to enhance the taste.)

Instructions

1. 1In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds, allowing them to crackle. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and onions, and sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
2. 2Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they become mushy. Incorporate the red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, and salt, stirring well to combine.
3. 3Stir in the roasted sevai and curd, mixing thoroughly to coat the sevai with the spices and curd.
4. 4Pour in the boiling water and stir well. Cover the pan and let the sevai cook on low heat for 5-10 minutes until the water is absorbed and the sevai is tender.
5. 5For a healthier version, add grated carrots, corn, or peas. For a vegan option, replace curd with lemon juice.
