Karasev recipe with full video and step by step pictures. Generally, most of us use red chilly powder or black pepper powder for karasev for spiciness. In this recipe, I have used green chilly, which gives a pale yellow colour for the karasev. The taste and texture was really good. I learnt this recipe from my Sarasu perimma who is an expert in making savouries and traditional sweets. She taught me few savouries and I will post one by one in virundhombal. She told me using red chilly powder will give dark colour karasev, so try karasev with green chillies. To make this karasev we need gram flour, rice flour, roasted gram flour(fried grams flour) green chillies, butter, asafoetida and oil.
Tips to make karasev
- Combine all the flour and then add the butter. You can add hot oil or melted ghee. Mix well with your palm until the mixture is mixed well with the butter.
- The green chillies are ground with little salt and then filtered using a fine strainer. Do not add the ground green chillies directly to the flour because it will struck in the holes while pressing the karasev.
- Gradually add the flitered green chilly extract and water to form a dough. Knead it to a smooth dough. When deep frying, make sure to cook on medium heat with multiple flips till the sev is evenly cooked from all the sides. If you forget to flip the sev, your sev will be soft and not crispy. Cool the sev for a few minutes and then break it slightly with your fingers. Now let's see how to prepare karasev.
