Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (Hing)
• 0.25 teaspoon Carom seeds (Ajwain)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or butter
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 cups Oil for deep frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, chickpea flour, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida, carom seeds, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Melt the ghee or butter and add it to the flour mixture. Mix well with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Be careful not to add too much water; the dough should be just pliable.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into it; it should rise to the surface without browning rapidly.

Step 5

Take a sev maker or a thick piping bag fitted with a star nozzle, and fill it with the dough.

Step 6

Pipe out circular patterns of dough directly into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry until the kara sev is golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to turn them occasionally for even cooking.

Step 8

Remove from the oil and drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Step 9

Let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
