About:

This recipe is similar to the One of the classic recipe of my home town Karnataka Ottu Shavige (Pressed homemade rice noodles)/Shemige/Akki shavige. I never had the Shavige Maker to make it fresh so tried with wheat thin noodles.

As a variation have used dates and coconut syrup. This recipe requires no special Indian ingredients and can be made thin wheat noodles, dates and coconut milk from your pantry. Your simple and quick to make dessert is ready, which can be served even for breakfast

Serves: 3-4
