Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |

| 1/2 | gram flour |
| 10 | ajwain |

| 10 | red chili powder |
| 10 | ghee |
| 1 | water |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, ajwain, salt, and red chili powder.
- Gradually add water and knead the ingredients together to form a soft, pliable batter. Ensure that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Heat the Ghee:
- Place a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add ghee to the wok and heat it until it reaches a smoking point. The ghee should be hot enough for deep frying.
-
Fry the Sev:
- Take a sieve and hold it over the hot ghee, ensuring it’s at a safe distance from the heat.
- Place a portion of the prepared batter into the sieve and gently rub it against the sieve’s surface to allow thin strands of batter to fall into the hot ghee. Repeat until the surface of the oil is covered with the batter strands.
- Fry the sev in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the wok, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once the sev turns golden and crisp, use a slotted spoon or karchi to remove them from the ghee.
- Place the fried sev on a kitchen towel or paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Enjoy!
- Serve the hot and crispy sev immediately as a standalone snack or as a garnish for chaats and other Indian delicacies.
Chef’s Tips:
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference.
- Ensure that the ghee is hot enough before adding the batter to achieve crispy sev.
