Normally Shevai is made with Rice back in Mangalore. I have
experimented with Rawa/Rulanv and it’s a huge success at home. There is no
soaking grinding rice and difficult procedures. You can make shevai anytime you
wish. If you do not have a Shevai Dante(sevai pressing machine) do not worry
you can do it with Chakkuli/Chak
Without Much a do I will post the recipe for Rulanva
Shevai/Rawa Sevai/Rawa String Hoppers
Rawa-2 cups
Coconut 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Water approx. -4 cups
Method:
In a grinder jar take 2 tbsp coconut add little water and
grind it into a very smooth paste.
Transfer this paste in a deep bottom pan and switch on the
gas/flame, immediately add 2 cups of water and allow it to boil.
Once boiled add salt 1.5 tsp or salt to taste and 2 cups
rawa. Mix it well using a ladle to form a soft dough. Switch of flame.
Now knead the Rawa mixture and make small cylindrical balls
out of the mixture.
Place these on a plate.
Heat the steamer or pressure cooker (without placing the weight)and
place the plate with the Rawa balls and steam it for 15-20 minutes.
Once you put off the flame of the steamer, immediately press
it into noodles. If not the steamed rawa balls tend to harden a little as they
cool and it gets difficult to press them.
Use a traditional pressing machine or muruku/chakuli press
to press the noodles and lay on a wet and drained clean white cloth .(this is
done so that the steam is escaped and the Shevai does not stick with each
other).
Serve the pressed noodles hot and enjoy with sweet coconut milk
or a spicy side dish.
Aps Notes:
Use fine Rawa for the Shevai.
There is no need to use coconut also in the recipe. I like
the flavor of coconut so I have added 2 tbsp.
Do not add extra water as the mix will get sticky and shevai
will not come neat.
This is Shevai Dante|String hopper maker. This has
chakkuli/murukku maker and even ribbon pakoda maker. It can be dismantled and
is compact to carry overseas. It weighs approximately 3-4 kgs. Material is
Hindalium, if it’s steel or brass it I’ll weigh more.This picture is specially
for those who have messaged me from many days to send the picture. Hope you can
find one for yourself. This is available in an steel shop in Mangalore in
Hampankatta area.
