    Millet paruppu sevai

    Healthy millets with protein make a great filling tiffin. You can also pack it for school lunch

    dal for millet sevai 

    To include protein I have made usili with toor dal and Chana dal. You can skip dal if you are looking for instant millet sevai.

    Should I pulse the cooked Dal?

    It is optional but it gives Nice texture to the dal and my kids like it this way so I always do.

    Should I steam cook millets?

    Though it is optional I would recommend it as it helps the sevai to retain the softness for hours. Overcooking, millet might turn them mushy so follow the package instruction

    Oil for sevai

    I would recommend peanut oil or coconut oil.

    Sevai varieties 

    I have used multi-millet sevai. Instead, you can use any sevai variety of your choice. If you are using rice sevai, soak for additional time also steam cook if required.

    Can I add onion?

    Traditionally paruppu sevai is prepared without onion and garlic. You can add according to your taste.

    tips for best multi millet Paruppu sevai

    • Cool the cooked Dal then pulse for a nice texture 
    • I would recommend soaking millet and then steam cooking for them
    • To retain softness for hours
    • Always roast the dal well before adding millet
    • Avoid sauteeing the millet for long-time
    • Keep the cooked millet covered to maintain the soft texture
    • Best way to reheat cooked parupp usevai is close with a lid. If you are using microwave; cover with a lid

    SIDE DISH FOR  tomato sevai

    seva goes well with varuval, raita varieties, gutti vankaya kura, kathirikai chops, plain kurma,  mirchi salan, chutney and raita
