Indian kitchen - Sevai press

"Sevai" is rice noodles, South-Indian style. The recipe is simple but the making process fairly laborious. Yet the hard work is worth it, because the end result beats anything made with "instant" noodles, believe me. There's nothing like fresh sevai made into different tasty varieties, or just eaten plain with mor kuzhambu (savoury sauce made with buttermilk as the base) and fried (well, nowadays microwaved) vadams/poppadums. And sevai is made using this press that looks like it belongs with Madame Tussaud's collection of torture implements!
