Rice Noodles/Shavige/ Sevai

It is one of the traditional South Indian home made rice noodles which is called “shavige” in Kannada & Sevai in Tamil. Usually this is prepared using parboiled rice. It is served with chicken curry (chicken sambar) or coconut kheer (kai haalu).

                     

Ingredients:

• Parboiled Rice/Usna Chawal /Kusubalakki: 2 cups
• Water:  to soak the rice
• Salt: 1/2 tsp
• Coconut (grated): 4 tbsp or Coconut Milk Powder: 2tbsp
• Oil: to grease

Tools:

• Shavige hollu/Sevai press/noodles press with small holes.

Method:

• Wash & soak rice in water overnight (let the water be 1 inch above the rice).
• Grind rice & coconut to a smooth paste with little water but it should be thick batter consistency like idli batter.
• Add salt, mix well.
• Grease idli plates with oil & pour the batter into plates.
• Steam in pressure cooker for 10 minutes without using weight.

Note: I used cooker pan instead of idli plate. Grease oil to a pan & pour 1  1/2 inch batter to a pan & steam it for 15-20 minutes without weight.

 

• Noodles should be pressed when it is hot, so take required dough & close the lid to keep the rest warm. Cold dough is very difficult to press.
• Wet the noodles press & spoon to avoid the dough sticking to it.
• Fill the dough to the noodles press.
• Press out the noodles into oval or round shape overlapping 4-6 layers of circle.
• Repeat the same with rest of the dough & make sure to leave gap between each noodles.
• Allow it to cool a bit.

Note: Don’t cover the noodles as soon as pressed it should be left open.

• Rice noodles is ready to serve with chicken curry or coconut kheer (kai haalu).
