Kara Sev

These days my son is very fond of eating snacks. And he liked the karasev which was from India.
So i thought of preparing karasev unfortunately i didn't have the karasev slotted spoon but used the muruku maker to do so. It came out well that while preparing itself both the heroes were busy munching it.

INGREDIENTS:

Besan - 2 cups
Rice Flour - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Chilly powder or Pepper powder -  1 1/2 tsp
Hing - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil for frying



Karasev Masala:

Poppy seeds - 1 tsp
Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
Cloves - 2 to 3
Cardamoms - 2
Cinnamon - 1/2 inch stick.

PROCEDURE:

1. Grind all the ingredients mentioned under the karasev masala section. Make it a fine paste.
2. Take a big bowl and pour in all the ingredients  including the karasev masala paste. Add just enough water to make a stiff dough. Cover and keep aside. ( If the dough is not covered then it gets dried )

3. Heat oil in a kadai. Take a handful of batter and holding a slotted spoon over the hot oil, quickly rub the batter. The batter will fall into the hot oil in 1 inch pieces. When the oil is 3/4 full of sev, stir fry till they turn golden brown in colour.
                                             OR
Place a lump of dough in Muruku Maker. Pipe out directly to the hot oil, stir fry till they turn golden brown in colour.
4. Remove from the oil, transfer it to a kitchen towel so that the extra oil gets absorbed.              
5. Once you are done with all batter , let the sevs prepared cool down and finally store it in an airtight container.
