Sev Preparation ;

∆ In a bowl, mix chickpea flour, rice flour, cumin seeds, black sesame seeds and salt. Then add water ( pour little at a time) to make a soft dough.

Fry both sides. Fry each batch till crisp and light golden in color, Don't forget to flip in between. The frying time is pretty quick, so be aware of over-browning.

∆ Drain the excess oil on a paper towel and gently crush it into small pieces with your hands, keep it aside till ready to be used.

∆ Remove from heat, add the fried Sev into the Syrup and mix thoroughly until the Sev is evenly coated with the Syrup. let it cool down a bit and dust the powdered sugar on top. Gently mix to incorporate.

∆ Allow to cool completely. Store in air tight containers.
