Ingredients of Besan Sev Recipe
- Gram flour (besan) - 2 ½ Cups
- Vegetable oil - 2 Tablespoons
- Carom seeds (ajwain) - 1 Teaspoon
- A pinch of bicarbonate of soda
- Red chili powder - 1 Tablespoon
- Salt - 1 Teaspoon
- Water as required
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
How to Make Besan Sev
Step 1: Mix the oil into the flour and rub until it becomes crumbly.
Step 2: Add all the other ingredients (except water and oil); mix well. Knead with enough water to make a stiff dough.
Step 3: heat the oil in a wok; meanwhile grease the insides of a sev-making device (or use a noodle maker with a fine mesh to make thinner sev).
Step 4: Fill the top container of the device with the dough. Press the dough down through the mesh directly into the hot oil.
Step 5: Separate the sev in the oil with a fork to prevent sticking. Fry over a LOW flame until crisp and pale yellow. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil on absorbent kitchen towels.
Step 6: Allow cooling then store in airtight jars.
Additional Tips
- Add 1/3 rice flour instead of gram flour for even crisper sev.
