Think jar snack and sev is one of the first options that comes to mind. Popular all over India, with mild variations, sev is a crispy, thread-shaped snack made of besan dough. It has a melt-in-the-mouth texture and enjoyable flavour.

While plain sev is not very spicy, Masala Sev is a variant in which a bit of tongue-tickling spiciness is introduced using red chilli powder and asafoetida.

Make sure you cook the sev on a slow flame, and do not fry till the colour darkens to golden brown. It should only be a yellowish or light brown shade. Store in an airtight container and enjoy with hot tea whenever you wish!

    Method
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a semi stiff dough using enough water. Keep aside.
  2. Grease the sev "press" with the smallest holes with little oil, transfer the dough into it, press it properly and cover it with the lid.
  3. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, press out thin strands of the sev into the hot oil, a few at a time and deep-fry on a slow flame till it turns very light brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
  4. Repeat step 3 to deep-fry the remaining sev in 3 more batches.
  5. Keep aside to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer the sev into a deep bowl and break into pieces using your fingers.
  7. Store in an air-tight container and use as required.
