Konkani Style Shevai Usli

Konkani Style Shevai Usli

Shevai Usli is a super simple, healthy Mangalorean dish that can be done almost instantly. Shevai in konkani means noodles or vermicelli. Usli is the cooked form of the vermicelli or noodles. The main ingredient being wheat (though there are other varieties like Ragi), it is healthy and filling. Since the process of making the usli is easy, it is generally done when there is a large gathering of people at home. Making the vermicelli or noodles used for cooking takes a lot of effort though. But we at mangalorestore.in have made this part easy by sourcing authentic home made, sun-dried shevai for you.
