Instructions
Cooking Akki Shavige (Rice Vermicelli)
- On a high heat bring 4.5 to 5 cups water to a boil in a pan.
- Add the rice vermicelli to the boiling water.
- Stir gently and cook the vermicelli on a medium to high heat.
- Cook the vermicelli according to the package instructions or until they are tender and softened.
- Drain all the water from the cooked vermicelli using a strainer. Keep the cooked rice shavige aside.
Making Shavige Uppittu
- In another pan, heat coconut oil. You can also use any other oil instead of coconut oil.
- Add mustard seeds and let them crackle.
- When the mustard seeds are almost done with the crackling, add cashews. The cashews can be kept whole or halved.
- Fry until the cashew get a bit golden.
- Add finely chopped ginger and green chilies. Stir and sauté for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Next add finely chopped onions and curry leaves.
- Sauté until the onions are softened. Don't brown them.
- Add the cooked rice vermicelli and mix very well with the rest of the sautéed ingredients.
- Season with salt. Stir and add the grated coconut.
- Mix again and turn off the heat.
- Serve Shavige Uppittu hot as is or paired with coconut chutney. Do drizzle some lemon juice while serving. Also garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- You can also opt to add lemon juice on the uppittu, when it is cooked and give a final stir. Add lemon juice as per your taste.
Notes
- You can also add 1 teaspoon each of chana dal and urad dal in this recipe. These lentils have to be added along with the cashews, when the mustard seeds begin to crackle. Brown them and then add the ginger, green chilies, followed by onions and curry leaves.
- For kids reduce the green chilies or skip them entirely.
- Add some veggies like green peas, carrots, french beans, beets, bell peppers, and tomatoes if you like.
- Peanuts can be added instead of cashews.
