Spicy Sev

Ingredients

2 cups gram flour (besan)
1/2 tsp. ajwain (omam) seeds
1 1/2 tsp. red chilli powder
1 tbsp. oil
salt to taste
2-3 pinches asafoetida
water to make dough
oil to deep fry

Method

1. Mix the chilli, oil, salt and seeds into the flour.
2. Add enough water to make a dough which is quite gooey.
3. It should not be pliable but sticky.
4. Grease the inside of a Sev-press, fill with the dough.
5. Press into hot oil, and fry lightly on both sides.
6. Drain well and cool before storing.

Variation:

• You may adjust the chillies as per taste.
• You may omit chillies to make bland sev.
• You may add finely crushed dried herbs (eg. mint) for add flavour.

Note: A sevpress is similar to a vermicelli press, but it should be small enough to handle over hot oil.

Making time: 15-20 minutes
Makes: 250 grams approx.
