Heat water in a pot, add instant sevai to the boiling water. Immerse it in the water and put off the flame. Cover it with a lid for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes drain the water from the sevai and keep it aside. ( You can refer to the backside of the instant sevai packet as well for cooking directions) Chop onions and tomato finely. Make a slit in green chilli.
Heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds, after it splutters add urad dal and channa dal, when dal turns golden brown add curry leaves, chopped onion and green chilli. Saute well until onions become translucent.
