Steps

20 mins

1

First sieve the gram flour, to avoid any lumps on the flour. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.
2

Add water little and knead into a soft dough. Give rest for sometime. At the end add hot oil and again knead it well.
3

Grease the sev press mould with little oil, transfer the dough into it, and press it properly and cover it with lid.
4

Press out thin strands of the sev into hot oil(medium hot), a few at a time into a circular motion and deep-fry on a slow flame. Just in 1-2 mins, The dough you pressed in oil will start rise above, just turn to other side after 2 mins and fry till the bubble stops or you can see foam like forming (in pic 3). Very light colour. Don't deep-fry for too long. It will change to dark brown.
5

Repeat step 4 to deep-fry the remaining sev in more batches.
6

Keep aside to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the sev into a deep bowl and break into pieces lightly using your fingers.
7

Store the sev in air-tight container and use as required.
