Have you heard of this Sevai??? This is yet another signature dish from my Salem Home!!! As far as I know, haven't seen people making this...But I have made a slight modification. In My home, they use white whole urad...I have used black split urad...we all know what immense nutrition is tucked under the skin!!! More so, the urad with skin has a special flavour and aroma too.
Mix well and serve with vedikka vitta more kuzhambu or coconut chutney. Don't forget a bowl of fresh curds!!

Notes
*Nowadays, this kind of home-made sevai is a rarity. Store counters are inundated with varieties of instant sevais and already cooked sevais.....but nothing can be at par with such home-made sevai!
