For the second day of this BM #6 session 2, I have chosen to blog under the 'Shelf stable goodies for Kids' series.
Now that the summer vacation is on for the kids, I have to constantly look out to make some snacks for them. Picky eaters as they are, it is getting tougher by the day to satisfy their 'snacky' needs. But it suddenly struck me that this Kara Sev might be popular with the kids as it was for us when we were kids! And these just vanished in 2 days. The kids would sprinkle the sev in anything and everything they ate. Imagine these in sandwiches, curd rice, dal rice, chapati wraps and as is :) I would have imagined they would like on top of some chaat but these kids beat me with their imagination. Now can I complain??
Ingredients -
Besan/Chick Pea Flour 2 cups
Ajwain / Vaamu , finely powdered 2 tsp
Salt as needed
Water to knead a dough
Oil for deep frying
Muruku press with the finely perforated disc (as shown in the picture)
Method Of Preparation -
In a mixing bowl, sieve besan and the ajwain powder to make sure there are no lumps or impurities which might block the muruku press. [Some might want to make a decoction of ajwain and add the strained decoction to the chick pea flour]
Add salt and knead into a soft dough adding as much water as is required.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a kadai/wok on medium heat.
Fill the muruku press fitted with the perforated disc with the dough and squeeze out the dough in circles into the hot oil.
Carefully flip the sev and cook on both sides.
Remove on to paper towel with a perforated ladle once the circular sev is light brown in color.
Continue with the rest of the dough.
Upon cooling, break the big circular sev into small bits and store in an air tight container if preferred.
