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).

Description
Homemade Potato Sev is a crunchy, spicy Indian snack made from chickpea flour and boiled potatoes, perfect for any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 1 boiled potato
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 2 teaspoons rice flour
- 1/4 teaspoon chili paste
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste (or ginger powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- Sieve the chickpea flour and rice flour into a large mixing bowl.
- Grate the boiled potato and add it to the flour mixture.
- Add the chili paste, ginger paste, salt, carom seeds, and chat masala to the bowl.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fill a sev maker with the dough and press it directly over the hot oil, forming thin strands.
- Fry the sev until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Remove the sev with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Allow to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
For a variation, you can skip the potato to make besan bhujiya. Sev tastes great with chopped onions, tomatoes, a squeeze of lime juice, and a dash of chat masala. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
