Coconut Shavige/Coconut Rice Noodles

These are traditionally prepared with the fresh akki shavige(rice noodles) prepared at home.But right now i do not have a shavige maker with me..and i really doubt whether i would be able to prepare even if i have. [:)].and the best alternative for me is to use the readily available rice noodles.Even though it is a compromise in taste but its a very good alternative when one does not have time to prepare akki shavige at home.The whole process takes less than 15 mins with the readily available rice noodles.

1 tbsp chana dal
1 tsp urad dal

Prepare the rice noodles as per the instructions on the pack.Just add rice noodles to the boiling water(with salt) and cook for 6-7 mins and drain it,run through cold water.
