THALICHA RICE NOODLES

My grandma used to tell me that long ago this is how our
Indians cooked the noodles, Indian style.
Actually this dish has the taste of its own.


THALICHA NOODLES

300 grms rice noodles soaked, boiled with salt and strained.
1 large onion sliced
4 dried red chillies cut into ½ inch pieces
2 sprigs curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
½ tsp cumin seeds
3 tbs oil
Salt to taste.

Method:

Add the oil in a wok, add in the mustard seeds, urad dal
And cumin seeds. When the splutter add in the onions.
Sauté well, add in the dry red chillies and curry leaves.
Again sauté well, the oil will have a light orange colour.

Now add in the cooked noodles and salt if needed.
Give a good fry mixing all the items evenly.
The noodles will be lightly coloured because of the oil.
Remove and serve. Its best to eat this on its own, biting a red chillie
That is found in the fried noodle.
Or you can eat it with any curry or peratel.

NOTE: In Malaysia this rice noodles are known as meehoon.
