Starting the final week of Blogging Marathon #93 with one ingredient in different ways,as theme.For the theme we need to choose a fruit,veggie or a flour as the ingredient.
Since Diwali is around the corner,I chose gram flour aka besan as my main ingredient to make some savories and sweet.
Kaarasev is a crispy and addictive snack made in number of ways with different proportions.I have already shared a version here.But this version is flavored with garlic and it is slightly on the spicier side.This version is popular in a sweet stall in my home town and I noted down the recipe from our family cook.
Basic Information Preparation time 15 minutes
Cooking time 30 minutes
Makes 350 gms(approximately)
Ingredients
Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
Gram flour/besan | 1 cup |
Rice flour/arisimaavu | 1/2 cup |
Red chilly/varamilagai | 6-7 |
Garlic/poondu | -5 fat cloves |
Cuminseeds/jeeragam | 2 tsp |
Salt | 1 tsp |
Water | to knead |
Oil | for frying |
- Grind the garlic and red chilly to a fine paste and keep it aside.
- Heat the oil in a pan and take all the dry ingredients in a bowl.To this add 2 tbs of hot oil,ground paste and mix it well.Now to this sprinkle little water at a time and knead it to a soft dough.The dough should not be too thick,otherwise it will be difficult to squeeze in the oil.
- Take the murukku press with the round blade(thenkuzhal achu),fill the dough.Squeeze it in the oil in a circular pattern and fry it for a minute.Now with the ladle break the bigger pieces to a smaller pieces for even frying.
- Fry it till the sizzling sound ceases and the sev turned out nice and golden.Remove it from the oil and drain it on a paper towel.
- Store it in an air tight container,after cooling.
- Cover the dough with a plate to prevent drying.
- If you feel hard to squeeze then sprinkle some water and mix the dough.
- The color of the kaarasev will get deeper upon cooling and take it from the oil as soon as the sizzling sound ceases.
- Instead of hot oil melted butter or ghee can also be used.
- A tbs of cornflour is also added along with the flour.
