I called my son to help for the pressing.He will come and help saying that why are you doing this hard work.After the toughest work it is very happy that seeing all are enjoying the various type of sevai.Atlost we will put sevai in Rasam for the next day use.Do you taste the thellenethethu rasam sevai next day with pappadam and nenthrangai chips.

Nowadays that all became dream.As I am alone who have interest to do all these toughest tiffin.

Dear seetha mam
it is very nice to read your nostalgia. yes i have tasted that rasam, sevai and papad the next day. Oh it is sad to know that you are alone....thanks for your response

love

First of all, it made me hungry and greedy to try that special sevai you have mentioned! But no luck with that!!

The whole post was like reading something in AnandaVikatan:) It had a lovely old world charm to it.

Also, from the following fbs, I was fascinated to learn about the modern sevai maker, how interesting. In spite of it, I doubt if I will acquire anything like that for my kitchen...I will make do with the substitutes I get from my local Asian stores !

I am not going to break my back...or is it my arms...to do so much sevai for some sevai.
