Ingredients
- 8 oz Rice sticks
- 2 tablespoon Oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoon Ullutham Paruppu / Urad dal
- 2 teaspoon Kadalai Paruppu / Chana dal
- 4 tablespoon Peanuts
- 3 Green chilies Slit lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric powder
- a pinch Asafetida
- few Curry leaves
- from one large lemon Lemon juice
- to taste Salt
Instructions
- Boil plenty of water in a large pan. Once the water comes to a boil, add the rice sticks and turn off the flame. Cover the pan and let the noodles cook in hot water for 4 to 5 minutes. Check to see the doneness of the rice sticks. Once they appear soft and cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse them with cold water.
- Let the rice sticks keep draining until ready to use. I also cut them randomly with kitchen scissors for easy handling. This is optional, but it definitely makes cooking and eating easier.
- In a wide pan, heat the oil and add the seasoning ingredients; mustard seeds, cumin seeds, the dals, peanut, asafetida, and turmeric powder. Let the ingredients fry for a minute and then add the curry leaves, ginger, and green chilies. Fry for about 10 seconds.
- Add the drained rice sticks along with the salt needed and toss around a few times. Let everything combine and cook together for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and mix well once again and turn off the flame.
- Serve with chutney or as is!
