Roasted ShavigeBath

This is quite a tasty variant of the rice sevai or the lemon shavigebath.

It is a real quickie – can give Upma a run for its money!

Keep the roasted vermicelli (made out of wheat and available ready in stores) handy. You can dish this up really fast. It has a mild flavour of spice yet not too harsh on the stomach . I make this for breakfast and everyone likes it!
