TIPS to make a NON STICKY / NON CLUMPY LEMON SEVAI
I have used store bought Rice Vermicelli
You can make your own Sevai at home from scratch too.
Be sure to follow packet instructions to make the sevai, cool it thoroughly and then use it. Else the Upma will be too sticky. You can spread the cooked sevai in a flat plate to cool down quickly.
Cooking time for the plain sevai depends on the brand. So, be sure to read the packet instructions carefully.
Additional addons for the sevai are : roasted peanuts, fresh peas, cabbage, french beans etc.
