Notes

 *The measurement mentioned above for Coriander-Curry leaves powder might be a little more in quantity for  the sevai made from 1 cup rice. . It can be refrigerated and stored for the next time use.

* Some like to have Sevai with coconut chutney. That is also a nice combination. But for people, who prefer something watery, Vedikka Vitta More kuzhambu is the best accompaniment.

*same powder can be used to make Curry leaves - Coriander rice, which is again a very healthy one.
