Delicious and Savory Sevaiyyan/Jave Recipe for Saturday Breakfast

Start your Saturday morning with a warm, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish that’s full of savory goodness- Sevaiyyan or Jave  (Vermicelli)! Perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast or even a light lunch, Sevaiyyan is versatile, easy to customize, and loved by many. Here’s how you can prepare this delicious dish with a simple yet flavorful twist.

What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup Sevaiyyan/Home Made Jave (Vermicelli)
• 1 teaspoon oil or ghee (optional for roasting)
• 1 teaspoon oil (for cooking)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1-2 green chilies, chopped (adjust based on your spice preference)
• 1 small tomato, chopped
• 1 glass water (adjust for texture preference)
• 1 teaspoon vinegar (for flavor)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper powder (optional, as per taste)
• Optional: Steamed vegetables (carrot, peas, beans, etc.)

Preparation Steps:

Step 1: Roast the Sevaiyyan

• Start by roasting the Sevaiyyan/Home Made Jave (Vermicelli) to give it that golden, crispy texture that enhances the flavor.
• Heat a pan on medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon of oil or ghee (optional). Once the oil is hot, add the Sevaiyyan and roast them until they turn golden brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
• Note: Roasting the Sevaiyyan with oil is optional. You can also roast them without oil for a lighter version, or simply use pre-roasted Sevaiyyan available in the market to skip this step altogether.
• Once they’re roasted to perfection, set the Sevaiyyan aside in a bowl.

Step 2: Sauté the Base Vegetables

• In the same pan, add 1 teaspoon of oil and heat it up on medium.
• Add chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn soft and translucent, adding a lovely base flavor to the dish.
• Next, add chopped green chilies to your taste. If you prefer a spicier dish, you can increase the quantity of chilies, but for a milder version, you can use just one or skip them.
• Add chopped tomatoes to the pan and sauté for a few minutes, letting the tomatoes soften and blend into the mix. This will form a flavorful base for the Sevaiyyan.

Step 3: Add the Roasted Sevaiyyan

• Now that the onion and tomato mixture is cooked, add the roasted Sevaiyyan to the pan and stir it well to combine with the vegetables.
• Add a glass of water. If you want the dish to be drier and more textured, you can reduce the water slightly. For a moister version, you can add a little extra water.
• Let the mixture come to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the Sevaiyyan to soak up all the flavors and cook through.

Step 4: Add the Final Touches

• Once the Sevaiyyan is cooked and the water has been absorbed, switch off the flame. Now, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the dish. The vinegar will give the Sevaiyyan a tangy twist that perfectly balances the savory flavors and adds a subtle depth to the dish.
• Stir the vinegar in gently, making sure the flavors are well distributed.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

• Serve hot for a perfect, flavorful breakfast! For an extra burst of flavor, you can sprinkle some pepper powder on top (optional, based on your taste preferences).
• If you want to make this dish even more nutritious and filling, you can add some chopped steamed vegetables like carrots, peas, beans, or even potatoes after the Sevaiyyan is cooked. Just mix them in for 1-2 more minutes before serving to combine all the flavors.

Pro Tip: Customize Your Sevaiyyan

• Add More Veggies: Feel free to add as many steamed vegetables as you like. Adding carrots, peas, and beans not only boosts the nutritional value of the dish but also enhances its color and texture.
• Optional Garnish: Garnish with some fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
