Rice Vermicelli is readily available in any Indian stores. I got a 1lb pack and made 2 kinds of vermicelli for dinner. One is lemon and the other is coconut. You could cook the vermicelli whole and it will look like noodles when done. In this receipe I cut the vermicelli into about 2 inch pieces just because we prefer it that way. Cutting it before cooking makes it easier.
Method
Put all the vermicelli in a big Pan. Boil water seperately and add the boiling water to vermicelli, all of the vermicelli should be covered with the boiling water cover the pan for 5 minutes check to see if the noodles are cooked and then drain all the water.
In a pan take oil. Add mustard seeds, channa dal, urad dal, hing, curry leaves and red chillies. When the dal turns brown switch off the heat and add 2 cups grated coconut(fresh or dry ) add salt and mix well add half the cooked noodles and mix. Coconut Sevai is done.
In a pan take oil. Add mustard seeds, channa dal, urad dal, hing, curry leaves, grated ginger and green chillies. When dal turns brown add turmeric, mix well add the remaining noodles, salt and lemon juice and mix well. Lemon Sevai is ready.

These dishes taste good by themselves. If u need something to go with it can have it with sundal.
We really loved the taste of these noodles with garlic rasam. Accidently stumbled upon this combination. When I made this sevai at home I also felt like I am starting to get a cold so made garlic rasam and tried the sevai with it and it tastes amazing. Will post the recipe for garlic rasam soon. Till then Happy Cooking !!!!
