Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, add besan, rice flour, garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, asafoetida, ajwain, and salt.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil and pour it over the flour mixture (this makes the sev crispy).
- Mix well until the flour becomes crumbly.
- Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough (not too sticky).
Step 2: Shaping the Sev
- Grease the sev maker (chakli press) with a fine-holed disc.
- Fill the dough inside the sev maker.
Step 3: Frying the Sev
- Heat oil in a deep pan on medium flame.
- Press the sev maker directly over the hot oil and fry in circular motions.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Step 4: Cooling & Storing
- Once cooled, sprinkle chaat masala for extra flavor.
- Store in an airtight container for freshness.
