Ingredients

1 cup besan (Bengal gram flour)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing)
salt to taste
1/4 tsp oil for greasing

Method

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and knead into semi-stiff dough, using enough water.
2. Lightly grease your hands and shape the dough into a roll.
3. Fill the dough into the “sev press” and press out thin strands onto a greased baking tray.
4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 10 minutes or till it turns light brown in colour and become crisp.
5. Cool, store in an air-tight container and use as required.

Handy tip:

1. Ensure you use a “sev press” with very thin holes so the sev bakes faster and is crisper.
