- To a large mixing bowl, sieve and add gram flour/besan, rice flour, salt, hing and turmeric.
- Mix everything well. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small ladle and pour the hot oil to the flour mix. Adding hot oil yields light and crunchy sev.
- Mix the flour gently with a spoon to incorporate the oil. Then add water little by little. Using hands make a smooth dough.
- Grease the mould or sev maker with oil. Use the plate with the smallest holes to make sev. Take 1/3 portion of the dough and fill the mould.
- Meanwhile heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot enough, squeeze the dough from the mould into the oil. Flip and fry on both sides until it turns golden. Repeat the process for the remaining dough.
- Remove them to a steel colander. Once it cools down, transfer to an airtight container.
