Baked Sev Recipe (Baked Sev For Chaats)

Ingredients

• 1 cup besan (gram flour)
• 1/4 tsp haldi powder (turmeric powder)
• 1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing)
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp powdered sugar
• 2 tsp oil
• salt (namak) to taste

Steps

1. To make baked sev, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and knead into a semi-soft dough, using approx. 2 tbsp of water.
2. Shape the dough into a cylindrical roll, fill the dough into the “sev press” and press out thin strands onto a greased baking tray.
3. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 8 to 10 minutes or till it turns light brown in colour.
4. Cool the baked sev and store in an air-tight container. Use as required.
5. Ensure you use a sev press plate with very thin holes so the sev bakes faster and is crisper.
6. If your baking tray is small, make this recipe in 2 batches.
