Coconut Sevai (Rice Noodles) image

This is one of my favorite easy-to-make Indian recipes. Although I try to make it the best as I can, my grandma is THE BEST at this... the smell of which reminds me of my school days! Please watch out for measurements.. may not be wholly American!

14 ounces rice noodles

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seed

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sevai turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The sevai was a little bland for my taste, but the coconut milk sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding some spices to the sevai before cooking.

Fantastic recipe! The coconut milk gave the sevai a rich and creamy flavor, and the addition of vegetables added a nice touch of texture and color. I also liked that the recipe was easy to follow and didn't require any special ingredients.
