Coconut Sevai / Thengai Sevai

Coconut Sevai / Thengai Sevai is a simple and I love this simplicity of today's South indian style breakfast or tiffin items.. It is used with left over idiyappam or freshly idiyappam.. Idiyappam is nothing but rice noodles / String hoppers / Sevai where prepared rice flour dough is hand pressing using a idiyappam maker and steamed...

This is very easy and packed with flavours..  And there are many variety of sevai they are lemon sevai, Masala idiyappam, Idiyappam kothu, Paruppu sevai and many more.. I will try all this types in my blog, so keep watching..
