Recipe Notes

  • I use ready to eat freshly pressed sevai 
  • If freshly pressed sevai is not available, I use Concord brand Rice sticks  and prepare the sevai according to the instructions on the pack.
  • I have also tried replacing sambar powder with pav bhaji masala, channa masala and the kids like the pav bhaji flavored one.
  • Since we don't prefer spicy food, I use very less quantity of chili. Spike it up to suit your taste.
