This raagi sevai prepared by mom tastes really good and I started preparing it in bangalore and all my room mates enjoy this so much and this item has taken a permanent place in our week days dinner menu.
Ingredients:
Raagi sevai - 1 packet (we usually buy Anil raagi sevai which comes out well)
big onion- 1 finely chopped
green chillies- 4-5 slit (depending on your spice level)
curry leaves - chopped
mustard- 1/2 tsp
urad dhal- 1 spoon
channa dhal- 1 spoon
turmeric - 1/2 tsp
lemon juice- 2-3 spoons
coriander - finely chopped
coconut grated- 1/2 cup
Oil- 3-4spoons
salt to taste.
Method:
Soak the raagi sevai in water for 5 mins (or as per the instructions in the packet). After 5 mins drain the water completely and put this sevai on idli plates and steam it for 8- 10 mins. Remove it from the idli pan and let it cool for few minutes. when it is still warm break it and add grated coconut, lemon juice and salt required for sevai and mix it with hand carefully so that you do not mash the sevai. Now in a pan add oil when it is hot add mustard seeds when it starts to crack add the urad dhal and channa dhal , when they start to brown add the curry leaves and onions and fry until the onions are cooked, add the turmeric powder and just enough salt for onions. Now add the raagi sevai mixture(which has coconut and lemon juice) to this onions and mix well. let it get mixed well and the sevai gets heated and coconut should get lightly roasted. Switch off when the sevai is hot and the yellow color is taken by sevai and finally add coriander.
Note: Serving tips - Add ghee to this hot sevai and have it with pickle it will taste good. Also you can have it with curd and pickle.
Awesome gal! My grandpa would love it
