We usually make plain savoury sevai or this lemon sevai. Though I prefer the sweet version I can have this when accompanied with the sweet version. Hubby loves anything savory so undoubtedly this is his favourite too, and mittu is like me…she loves the sweet version 🙂
Lemon Sevai – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Idiyappam – 1.5 cups
Lemon Juice – 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder – a generous pinch
Salt – to taste
To Temper:
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Channa dal – 1 tsp
Curry leaves – few
Peanuts – 1/2 tbsp
Red chillies -1.5
Hing – a generous pinch
Method:
- Make the idiyappam ready.Cool down and then loosen it .Heat oil in a pan – add the ingredients listed under ‘to temper’ fry till the dal turns crisp and peanuts turn slightly browned. Then add turmeric powder, hing and saute for a minute.
- Add the idiyappam, required salt and give a quick stir. Finally add the lemon juice and switch it off.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or chutney of your choice!
My Notes:
- You can soak the channa dal in water for few mins to make it soft and then use it for tempering too.
- I usually add the lemon juice and switch it off immediately to avoid bitterness.
- Garnish with coriander leaves if you prefer.
wow… what tempting idiyappam… but i usually prefer idiyappam with coconut milk…

Hai Sharmi I like your blog very much. I have one doubt. Yesterday I saw the Rava Kesari Recipe in that shall i add salt?
@Helen : Yes you can add a pinch of salt too…for the sugar level to be enhanced
yummy dish. nice space.do visit my at your free time.
Hello, I want to try this recipe this evening. My question is, for how long can we store ready (boiled) Idiyappam? and if yes then How should we store them? can we prepare it in advance and store it and then use it whenever we want?
Wow such a different dish…something new to me…
Wow…lemon sevai looks very inviting…wonderful clicks as always 🙂
@Anuja : You can make the idiyappam ready 3-5 hrs ahead and refrigerate it, then while making lemon sevai just steam cook the refrigerated idiyappam for 2-3 mins and can use it….Storing overnight is not recommended….
I love this like anything, always make it along with the sweet one..
We too make this in the same way. Perfect one for this weather
Wonderful clicks…. From last month i had problem in seeing your blog.I missed u very much.Now happy to see ur blog dear.
