This crunchy snack is mildly flavored with garlic which makes it a delectable option for tea time snacking and also makes a comfortable snack for travels. ‘Sev’ or ‘Kara Sev’ as it is called is basically fried crispies made with gramflour or besan dough seasoned with assorted spices and usually made during Holi and Diwali. Very popular in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand this crisp sev has a long shelf life and stays fresh for more than a month in air tight container. Also makes an amazing tea time snack for travel.

Honestly the recipe to make kara sev is not so simple, but with little patience and practice you can master it. There are various possibilities of flavors that you can try like mint, carom seeds, asafetida, spinach, chilly, cumin seeds or you can be creative and play with spices to create your very own flavor.



*For me, ‘Bhelpuri’ is incomplete without a generous addition of this garlic sev. Why don’t you try this someday?

*Moong dal bhajiya and garlic sev make an unbeatable combination with khatti chutney. Believe me, this is a pure bliss on a rainy day. You’re going to love each bite of it.

*While most of the chat recipes like dahi puri, matar ki chat, amiri khaman are incomplete without garlic sev. Top these snacks with garlic sev, handful of freshly chopped coriander, ginger and then see the difference.

*Enjoy garlic sev in breakfast, top it over pohe ka pulao or Indori poha and relish the crunch in every spoonful.

*This crunchy garlic sev is best enjoyed when tossed with chopped onion, tomatoes, green chilly and coriander. Do not miss to squeeze on some lime juice just before serving.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Gramflour (Besan) – 2 cups
  • Turmeric powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Red chilly powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic paste – 1 teaspoon
  • Carom seeds (Ajwain) – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Baking soda – Less than ¼ teaspoon
  • Salt – To taste
  • Water – To make dough
  • Oil – For deep frying

How to make Marwari Lehsuni Sev

To begin with making these wonderful crispies or sev with garlic flavor, we need to make a dough.

  • For this combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl (Without ‘Oil’ for deep frying) and make a smooth dough with water.
  • Now when the dough is ready, heat sufficient oil in a wok.
  • Meanwhile prepare your sev machine (Sev press or sev maker) by fitting a disc with fine holes. This disc or attachment comes along with the sev press.
  • Now, holding the machine over the hot oil, press the dough out in an even, circular movement. You would notice dough coming out in ‘Strings’.
  • Fry these strings on medium to high flame till golden. This would take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove on a plate with absorbent paper to soak away the excess oil and continue this process with the remaining dough.
  • Allow sev to cool completely at room temperature.  As it cools, you would notice that it becomes crispier.
  • Crush lightly and store in an air tight container.
  • Serve as required. Not only as a tea time snack, but you can also use this yummy sev in various recipes. To know that, do not miss to refer our serving suggestions given above.
