- 1 Frying Pan
Ingredients
For preparing the rice noodles
- 250 grams instant rice Vermicelli
- 1 liter boiling hot water
- 1 tsp salt
For Shavige Bath
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp raw peanuts
- 12 cashew halves
- 1.5 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 tsp Urad Dal
- 6 Green chilis chopped finely
- 1 tsp ginger chopped finely
- 12 curry leaves
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 2.5 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 cup carrots chopped into thin strips
- 1/4 cup beans chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 1/3 cup capsicum chopped into thin strips
- 1/4 cup raw mango cubed
- 1/2 cup coconut grated and fresh - frozen fresh coconut also works
- 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Boil the required amount of water till it bubbles. I use my hot water kettle to do this.
- Place the rice noodles in a large wide bowl, sprinkle some salt over them and pour the boiling hot water over them. Ensure that the noodles are completely immersed in the water.
- Cover with a lid, start a timer based on the soaking time and in the meantime, prepare the other ingredients.
- When the noodles have soaked, strain them in a colander and let all the water drain away completely. To ensure this, let them sit undisturbed for at least 5 to 8 mins.
- Using a kitchen shears, cut the noodles into shorter strands. This helps in even mixing.
- Heat a 5 quart thick heavy bottomed frying pan with oil.
- When the oil shimmers, add peanuts and cashews. Lower the flame to medium and roast the nuts till they begin to brown.
- At this stage, quickly add the mustard seeds and as soon as they pop, add urad dal, green chilis and ginger along with curry leaves. Saute for 30 to 40 seconds on medium heat.
- Now, add the chopped vegetables along with ground turmeric and salt. Mix well and cook on high heat for 1 to 2 mins.
- At this stage, add the cut up rice noodles and mix well.
- Add lemon juice and fresh grated coconut. Lower the heat and continue to mix until everything is well incorporated.
- When done, remove the noodles from the cooking range and cover with a lid until ready to serve.

Notes
Follow the preparation instructions of the rice noodle package to the T. Timing matters a lot here. Overcooking = mushy noodles. Not soaking enough/ properly = rubbery noodles.
When cooking the vegetables, stir fry them on high heat briefly to preserve color, texture and taste.
Using coconut oil is optional but recommended. Peanut oil also works well.
A note on unripe green mangoes- pick tangy mangoes for this recipe. Sweet or ripe ones become mushy and do not add much to taste.
