Method

Bring a pot of water to boil. When it comes to a boil, turn the heat off and add the bajra sevai. Leave it for 2-3 minutes and then rinse in cold water.

In a wok, sauté onions along with green chilli and the split grams. Once the onions brown, add the mixed vegetables, salt and turmeric powder and cook for a further 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked. Add the bajra sevai and more salt if needed.

Serve garnished with coriander, coconut and the lime juice sprinkled on top.
