Namkeen Seviyan (Savouri Vermicelli) is a delicious breakfast dish. It is also known as Jawe. Seviyan can also be served as snack or light dinner. This is a healthy recipe as it has a lot of vegetables.
I have used cashews to add some crunch and raisins to add sweet and sour taste to the dish. Cashews and Raisins take this dish a notch higher and are a must for the dish. To get bust of flavors in every bite, make this dish by following simple and easy steps given below. Sometimes also called as Seviyan Upma or Vermicelli Upma.
