Sev podi recipe for Diwali
Besan Sev is one savory snack which is very popular and frequent recipe at my parents place,  I have grown up looking at my mother making huge batches of these sev for Diwali, Holi or just for snack and store in large tins.  We still follow the custom and make sev  at least during Diwali and Holi festivals though at my in-laws place Namak Para is more popular, they make that for all occasions. 

Chickpeas flour besan sev podi diwali recipes
These Sev are very easy & quick to make and also stay good for long time.  Crispy sev not only make good snack by itself but also used in most of the chaat items.  The only issue with these yummy sev is once we start munching it’s difficult to stop but then don’t eat too much at one go as these are made from chickpeas flour and eating too much may cause stomach upset, so be mindful.  This is the most basic recipe of sev, one can do lot of variations like adding cumin powder or carom seeds, pepper powder, lemon juice etc.   Hope you like this simple sev recipe and try it.
