About Karasev

Karasev is a crispy, savory snack originating from South Indian cuisine, often enjoyed during festive occasions or as a teatime treat. Made from a base of chickpea flour (besan) and rice flour, it is seasoned with a mix of spices such as black pepper, red chili powder, and sometimes garlic, lending a bold and flavorful taste. The dough is shaped into thin strands and deep-fried until golden brown, creating a crunchy texture. While Karasev is gluten-free and provides some protein from chickpea flour, it is typically high in calories and fat due to frying. Enjoyed in moderation, it can be a satisfying addition to a balanced snack repertoire, but those watching fat intake or managing heart health might prefer baked alternatives. A traditional favorite, Karasev reflects India’s knack for turning simple ingredients into irresistible, spiced delights.
