Namkeen Seviya or Salted Sevai is a filling and yummy breakfast. I love to add peanuts, dry coconut, curry leaves and mustard seeds to give it a nice South-India touch. You can add any veggie/no-veggie as per your choice. J Since I was on a refrigerator cleaning spree, to accommodate fresh veggies from the market, I added carrots, caulis, peas and some paneer (cottage cheese).
