Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed to prepare Kara sev,
- Gram flour (Kadalai maavu) - 2 cups
- Rice flour - 4 tablespoons
- Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
- Chilli powder - 1 teaspoon or more as preferred.
- Garlic paste - 2 teaspoon
- Asafoetida/Hing - 1/2 teaspoon
- Cooking soda - a pinch (optional)
- Butter/ghee/hot oil - 1 teaspoon
- Salt to taste
- Water for dough
- Oil for deep fry
Preparation Steps
To prepare dough:
- Take a large bowl add gram flour, rice flour, chilli powder, cumin seeds, garlic paste, salt, asafoetida and butter. Give it a mix.
- Add water little by little and knead the contents into a smooth and soft dough.
To prepare Kara sev:
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep fry and let it heat at high flame.
- Take the murukku maker/mould, grease it with oil and fill in the prepared dough.
- If the oil is hot enough, lower the flame and start squeezing the dough directly into the pan.
- You can either cut the pieces as you squeeze or squeeze them completely in big rounds and break it into pieces once it is done.
- On the other hand, you can also use the specific 'Kara Sev Kattai' or large ladle with bigger holes to prepare the right size by pressing and rubbing the dough on top of it.
- Gently stir them so that it is evenly fried.
- Once the bubbles have stopped take them out and place it on a strainer or tissue paper.
- Repeat the process for remaining dough.
- Kara sev stored in an airtight container can stay crisp for over a week. It is said that it gets more crispy at room temperature compared to when it is piping hot.

Kara Sev Recipe Preparation Steps
If you’re looking to prepare a delicious and crispy snack that can elevate any tea time, the Kara Sev recipe is a must-try. Known for its crunchy texture and spicy flavor, Kara Sev is a popular Indian savory treat made from gram flour and a blend of aromatic spices. To kick off the preparation steps, gather your ingredients, which include gram flour (besan), rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and ajwain (carom seeds). You’ll also need water for the dough and oil for frying. Begin by combining the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, ensuring that they are evenly distributed. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough that is neither too soft nor too hard, as this will impact the texture of your Kara Sev.
Once your dough is ready, it’s time to shape and fry your Kara Sev. Use a sev maker or a piping bag fitted with a thin nozzle to form the sev strands. Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat. Carefully squeeze the dough into the hot oil in spiral or straight shapes, frying them until they turn golden and crispy. It’s important to maintain an even temperature to avoid burning the sev. After frying, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. These Kara Sev make a perfect snack alongside your favorite beverages or as an ingredient in chaat recipes. By following these Kara Sev recipe preparation steps, you can enjoy an authentic taste of this beloved Indian snack right at home!
