Few Indian snacks evoke the kind of love and response across all the states in India as does Bhujiya Sev or Bhujia or simply Sev.
By Sonia Mangla
Sev is a crunchy and spicy snack to munch anytime of the day and any occasion. If you skip Aloo (potatoes) it is known as besan bhujiya (chickpea sev). Give it a shot and I’m sure you will love to munch it till last and tastes superb by adding little bit of onion and a few tomato chunks (dont forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice & add a dash of chat masala).
