Kara Sev

Karasev is simply and tasty savory. I did not have ‘karasev jalli karandi” ( a special holed ladle used for this) , so I  used  murukku achchu .  I was able to get the same effect.

Ingredients 

Besan (Gram Flour)                                  2 cups

Rice flour                                                ¾ cup

Asafetida (Hing)                                       ½ tsp

Red chili powder                                        ½ tsp

 Crushed Black Pepper                               1 tsp.

Turmeric Powder                                       ¼ tsp

Ghee                                                        1 tbsp.

Cooking soda                                             one pinch

Salt                                                           to taste

 Cooking Oil                                               for deep frying

Method:

• Sieve both flours together in a bowl.
• In a plate, cream the ghee & cooking soda ,very well till the paste looks white.
• Add sieved flours, crushed black pepper, red chili powder, turmeric powder, hing and slat.
• Mix well with hands. Add enough water to get soft dough.

• Heat a oil in a kadai. Keep the medium stove heat.
• Fill the murukku press with the prepared dough using the 3 eyed blade and squeeze it in the oil directly .

• Fry till crispy & golden color.    Remove to a kitchen tissue and let it cool.
• Store this in an airtight container,
• Enjoy Karasev with Coffee or Tea

Note:

• If you are using Karsev  Jalli Karandi, Heat oil & keep the ‘ karasev jalli karandi” above the oil.  Rub the dough on it so that long strands will fall into the oil.
• Wash the “ jalli karandi” ( ladle) with water every time after use, so that the rubbing will be easy.
