Besan Sev recipe

Sev is a snack itself. you could enjoy it with murmura, a healthy evening snacks. We used to buy it from market but it is really simple to prepare the sev at home. It is also used as topping for many dishes like sev usal, chat, bhel , sev tameta nu shak etc.

Ingredients:
Besan- 500 gm
black rock salt - 1 tsp
salt to taste
oil-2 table spoon
oil- 500 gms for frying
hing- half tsp

Method:
1. In a bowl take besan, salt, black rock salt, hing and oil. Now start adding water to the besan and mix well with egg beater or spoon. Make a mixture of stiff dough like consistency. Add water slowly as required to avoid a runny mass.

2. Now take a sev press and pour the above mass in it. Use medium size sev die cast. Generally there are three types of whole sizes are there in the sev press. small, medium and large. The larger one is used for gathia or thick sev. medium one is the best option for the homemade sev. Smller size is used to prepare Nylon sev. Nylon sev receipe is little different which i will share some time.

Now heat the oil in a kadai. When the oil is heated start pouring the sev from sev press directly in the hot oil.

3. Fry the sev for 3-4 minutes. you could turn them after 2 minutes and fry from both the sides. Do not over fry  other wise the colour will change to reddish brown. It should be nice yellow colour.

Once the sev is fried sufficiently the bubbling seen in the above picture will stop.

Now keep all the sev in a bowl allow to coll and store in an airtight container. It can be preserved for 15 days to 1 month depend on the type of oil used for frying.

I generally prefer peanut oil which preserves the snacks for 1 month.

Enjoy your sev with subji's, murmura, misal, chat ....................:-)
