tomato sevai

We often make sevai or idiyappam at home. And now I am at my native. Here we make idli, dosa, idiyappam, or puttu as our main breakfast. My kids love to have different breakfast recipes like aloo paratha, paneer sandwich, and many others.

So, yesterday for a change we made this tomato sevai. It is perfect for a light breakfast or dinner.
