Kara Sev, a popular Indian snack, originates from the vibrant culinary traditions of South India. Made primarily from chickpea flour (besan), rice flour, and a blend of spices like red chili and ajwain, this crunchy treat is deep-fried to achieve its crispy texture. Its bold, savory flavor and light, airy consistency make it a favorite across age groups. While Kara Sev provides a good source of energy and contains some protein and dietary fiber from chickpea flour, it is considered a high-calorie snack due to its deep-fried preparation. Consuming it in moderation can be a part of a balanced diet, but frequent indulgence may contribute to excessive fat and calorie intake. Perfect as an occasional treat, Kara Sev pairs well with tea or coffee and brings a delightful burst of spice to snack time. For a healthier alternative, some recipes adapt baking or air frying methods.
