Apurva Dhage says
How to make thin sev ? Is it possible without rice flour ? Grinding in mixer gives a different texture to the moong dal.
Srivalli says
Apurva The measurement I gave plus the press I used gives thin sev. I used the regular ompodi hole for this.
Padmaja says
Ma'am I have a doubt. PL.clarify. we have to dry roast rice also
Srivalli says
Padmaja, the rice flour is not roasted. I gave the link to make rice flour at home. Please follow that recipe. If you are using store bought flour, you can use it directly without frying too.
