Spicy Sev

Ingredients

• 2 Kilo Gram flour
• 200 Grams Dalda (vegetable shortening)
• 500 Grams Sesame oil
• a small amount Pepper powder
• a small amount Salt
• 100 Grams Rice flour
• 1 Pinch Baking soda
• 10 Grams Chilli powder
• a small amount Asafoetida
• a small amount Garlic powder

Instructions

1. Mix the gram flour with the rice flour, chilli powder, asafoetida, and garlic powder. Add salted water and knead into a firm dough. Heat oil in a pan; once it is well heated, place a little of the dough in the kara sev press and press it firmly through into the oil. Turn the sev over with another ladle, and once it is well browned, remove it and drain off the oil. (If pressed out through a murukku mould instead, it can be broken up loose once ready.)
