It has a very long shelf life and can be stored in airtight containers for months. Do try this!
The key to making market style aloo sev at home are
- Firstly, cool down the boiled potatoes completely and grate the potato really well. if there are lumps then it may be difficult to pass into sev mould.
- For market style aloo sev flavor, I added pani puri masala in sev dough. You can add regular spices like chaat masala, amchur powder, and red chili powder instead of it.
- in aloo sev dough, boiled potatoes should be more than the proportion of flour mix. In grams, 400 gram boiled potatoes required 200 grm besan and rice flour mixture.
- Fry aloo sev on medium to low flame. also, you must be careful and remove it from the oil when it reaches yellowish color. do not wait till going dark yellow color as it continues to cook even after being removed from the oil and may turn dark.
- Lastly, I made chatpata aloo sev namkeen by adding peanuts, roasted chana dal, and spices into sev. It tastes great for 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container.
