Besan Sev - Popular Indian Savory Snack

Besan Sev is a ubiquitous and incredibly popular savory snack across India, renowned for its crunchy texture and bright, savory flavor. This snack is made from a dough primarily composed of gram flour (besan), which is seasoned with turmeric, chili powder, and other spices. The dough is extruded through a mold directly into hot oil, creating fine, noodle-like strands that are fried to a perfect golden crisp. The resulting Besan Sev is light, intensely crunchy, and highly versatile, used not only for tea-time snacking but also as a crucial crunchy topping for traditional chaat, poha, and other savory dishes.
