Lemon Sevai is rice noodles tossed in a simple tadka with lemon flavour. Lemon sevai recipe with step by step pictures.
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.

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?
Sharmilee! :)
@Helen : Yes you can add a pinch of salt too…for the sugar level to be enhanced

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?
Arthy Suman
Wow such a different dish…something new to me…
Sangeetha
Wow…lemon sevai looks very inviting…wonderful clicks as always 🙂
Sharmilee! :)
@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….
