Yield

6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

2-1/2 cup g. flour (besan)
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. asafoetida (hing)
1/2 tsp. ajwain (omum)
Oil, as needed
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Mix besan, chili powder, hing, ajwain and a little hot oil. Knead well, adding water as necessary, into a stiff but smooth dough. Divide into small portions and reserve.

Heat oil in a deep pan. Place a portion of dough in a sev mould, hold the mould over the hot oil and press carefully until the entire dough portion is passed through the sieves at the base of the mould. Let the sev fall gently into the hot oil; guide the fall into circles of sev by moving the mould in a circular motion. Turn and fry the sev until golden and crisp, taking care not to burn them. Drain and place on absorbent paper. Cool and store in an airtight container.
