Besan Sev Recipe, also commonly known as sev a popular Indian snack consisting of small pieces of crunchy noodles made from gram flour (Besan in Hindi).It is the main ingredient used in a topping in world-famous street food chaat like bhel puri or any other chaat. It can also be eaten as a standalone snack anytime. Also, you can enjoy them along with Meethi Boondi, Ladoo, and even Ghevar. In the market, various varieties and flavors of sev like aloo, palak, pani puri, plain, tomato, and bhujia are available, but I always like the plain besan sev. Holi is around the corner, and ghevar is the most popular sweet dish; prepared during the Holi celebration is incomplete without any namkeen. In my house, we always eat this besan sev along with the ghevar to balance the sweetness of the ghevar.

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, take 250 grams of gram flour and sift the flour.
Add salt as per taste, ¼ tsp of asafoetida, and 4 tbsp of oil to the flour.
Mix all the ingredients well with your hands. Take some flour in your hand and hold it tightly, and the flour should be able to hold its shape.
Add water in batches and knead a semi-soft dough. The dough might be slightly sticky.
Add very little water to the dough. Cover it with a plate and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Note - Water will soften the dough and will help to knead the dough after rest.
After 10 minutes, knead the dough well for a few minutes.
Add little water at a time and knead the dough until it is soft and smooth in texture.
Grease the sev maker machine with oil.
Dip the spoon in water. Transfer the batter into the sev machine with the help of the spoon and close the device.
Drop a little dough in the oil, and it pops up instantly. The oil is perfect for frying.
Now press circularly, rotate the machine, and drop the sev into the hot oil.
Do not flip the sev to the other side immediately. Let the sev fry for a minute.
Flip and fry the sev on the other side. Note - It does not take much time to fry. It takes 1 to 2 minutes to fry them. Ensure the yellow color of the sev is retained and not changed.
Drain them on a kitchen napkin.
Store in an air-tight container and enjoy them at tea time or anytime. The shelf life of the sev is a month.
