Lemon Sevai with Idiyappam sticks/Elumichhai Sevai/Lemon Rice Sevai

We can different types of sevai with idiyappam like coconut sevai, tomato sevai, puliyodarai sevai, sweet sevai etc, but I always love to have lemon sevai. Idiyappam/sevai is a very common and delectable South Indian breakfast made with rice flour. When you have left over idiyappam you can always flavour them with lemon or coconut or tomato or any ingredient of your choice. Here I have used the readymade concord rice sevai to make this lemon sevai. Meanwhile do check out other interesting and healthy Breakfast Recipes here.

Here’s how to make Lemon Sevai with step by step photos…

Preparation time: 5 minutes                                Recipe Category: Breakfast/Lunch

Method
Cook the rice sevai according to the instructions on the pack and drain all the water and keep it aside. Squeeze the lemon juice without the seeds and keep it aside.


Heat oil in a wide pan, splutter mustard seeds, add cumin seeds, asafoetida, channa dal, curry leaves and let it turn to half golden brown colour.

Now add the cashew nuts, peanuts and fry until all of them turn to golden brown colour.

Add the green chillies, ginger and fry for about a minute or until it starts to change colour.

Now add the turmeric powder, lemon juice, salt and switch off the stove.

Add the cooked rice sevai/idiyappam and mix really well until the lemon mixture is thoroughly mixed with the sevai.

Finally add the finely chopped cilantro/coriander leaves and mix well. Adjust the amount of salt and lemon juice according to your taste.

Serve this delicious and quick Lemon Sevai with coconut chutney or any chutney of your choice.
