Ingredients
 

For rava sev

  • 1 cup fine rava
  • 1 cup + 1 cup water or as required
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 cup rice flour

For rava sev namkeen

  • Crushed rava sev
  • ½ cup peanuts
  • ½ cup roasted chana dal
  • ¼ cup almond
  • ¼ cup cashews
  • Some curry leaves
  • 5-6 spicy green chilli
  • 1.5 tbsp chaat masala
  • 1 tsp black salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

Making Rava Sev

  • In a pan, add 1 cup water, salt to taste, and 1 tsp oil. Mix well and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Gradually add 1 cup fine rava, stirring continuously. Turn off the heat and cover the mixture for 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the rava into a mixing bowl. When it is slightly warm, add 1 cup rice flour and mix well.
  • Gradually add 1 cup water and knead into a medium-soft dough for the sev.
  • Grease your hands with a little oil and smooth out the dough.
  • Place the sev dough into a sev maker fitted with a medium-sized hole disk. Grease the inside of the sev maker with a little oil.
  • Fill the container with the prepared dough and close it tightly.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, hold the sev maker over the pan. Turn the handle to release thin strands of sev into the oil, moving the machine in a circular motion.
  • When you complete one circle, reverse the handle slightly to stop the sev from coming out.
  • Fry the sev on medium-high heat until golden from both sides. Remove from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  • Let the rava sev cool completely, then store it in an airtight container. The sev is now ready to serve.

Making Rava Sev Namkeen

  • Place a sieve in hot oil. Add peanuts, roasted chana dal, and dry fruits one by one into the hot oil. Fry on medium heat and transfer to a bowl.
  • Fry curry leaves and chopped green chilies until they become crisp and lose all moisture. Transfer to the bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the fried peanuts, roasted chana dal, and dry fruits. Add chaat masala, black salt, and sugar. Mix well.
  • Add crushed sev and mix thoroughly.
  • The rava sev namkeen is ready. Store it in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use fine rava for the sev dough.
  • Rava absorbs hot water easily.
  • Add rice flour when the rava mixture is slightly hot.
  • Knead a medium-soft dough for the sev. Do not knead a hard dough.
  • The proportion of rava and water should be equal.
  • Rice flour gives a crispy texture to the sev.
  • Fry the sev on a medium-high flame. Do not fry it on a low flame.
