Sesame Peanut Rice Noodles / Sevai - Breakfast in 5 minutes
Hot breakfast in 5 minutes, and it's not cereal or toast or a fried egg! Or a smoothie for that matter. It's this amazing thing called 'dhideer sevai' or instant rice noodles which you absolutely must stock in your kitchen. Unlike Maggi or any other 2 minute noodles, you don't have to cook them. Imm

Notes
You could use the same recipe for poha (beaten rice).
I've used Anil brand Rice Sevai, 777 brand and found them to be good.
