Sev (chick pea flour/besan) :

Sev is a noodle-type crispy snack made from gram flour. It is particularly used in many Indian food and snack preparations as a main ingredient or garnishing agent. It can be prepared at home very easily. This recipe uses a Sevai Machine to prepare it at home. This machine comes with many pre-fabricated molds to prepare sev of varying thicknesses. We recommend using a mold which prepares the thinnest strands.
