namkeen sev

                                                           Sev Besan Ki










                      We always need some thing to snack on with our cup of tea.It becomes boring having same snack everyday .For a change make besan sev in your kitchen .It will be a different experience with home made sev as it will have all fresh ingredients and oil.When we buy it from shop then the oil being used is refried many times .


                                           






                                                                  
                                                         Mould for sev
                                                        
Different types of moulds are available in market now a days but some i am comfortable with old fashioned mould which I am using for decades.The round movement of this mould  is  convenient then the up and down moevement of other varities.This is havind different size sieves for sev choose your own preference.If you are using the sieve with bigger holes then you can add other spices like ajwain powder to the besan.As I use the smaaler one so I avoid using spices as this can block the holes.

Ingredients   required (easily available in your pantry)
2 cup besan (chick pea flour)
1 table spoon salt
5 table spoon oil
1/4 teaspoon hing powder (asoefateida)
oil for frying .

Mix all the ingredients and rub in between palms to make crumbs.
Knead besan with water to form a dough of roti consistency.

     Take the mould and fill it with dough.Heat oil in pan and press the dough in mould over the pan
to make sev and let it fall in pan.Deep fry sev till starts looking cooked and leaves an aroma.
With same procedure more rounds of sev can be fried .These can be stored in an air tight container and will taste fresh for two to three weeks.

Serve with a cup of tea .
