Coconut Sevai (Rice Noodles) image

This is one of my favorite easy-to-make Indian recipes. Although I try to make it the best as I can, my grandma is THE BEST at this... the smell of which reminds me of my school days! Please watch out for measurements.. may not be wholly American!

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 ounces rice noodles
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seed
2 dried red chile peppers, chopped

Stir in coconut and fry it until light brown; add cooked noodles and 1/4 cup water. Keep stirring all together over heat until well mixed, 10 to 20 seconds. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sevai turned out dry and crumbly.

This recipe was a disaster! The sevai turned out mushy, and the sauce was bland.

The coconut sevai was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.
