Ingredients (1 cup = 240 ml)
- 4 raw bananas
- 1 cup besan/chick pea flour
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder/haldi
- ¼ teaspoon asafoetida/hing
- ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder
- salt to taste
- 1– 1.5 tablespoon water
- ¼ teaspoon chaat masala to sprinkle on sev
Instructions
- Add water in pressure cooker, put a stand over it. Arrange a flat plate over it and place raw bananas on it. Close the lid, pressure cook on high flame till 1 whistle, then reduce the flame and cook for 5 minutes.
- Let the pressure settle down. Then open the lid and let the bananas cool for about 5 minutes. Once slightly cool, peel and grate the bananas. Don’t keep the bananas for long. It will be very difficult to grate once they are cool.
- To grated bananas, add turmeric, salt, hing, red chilli powder. Also add 1 tablespoon water. Mix and mash the bananas with a spoon.
- Sieve besan and add to grated bananas. Mix well and form soft and smooth dough. If you feel dough is too dry, add little water.
- Place the dough inside the sev maker and close the lid.
- Heat oil in a frying pan/kadai and press the sev maker to make sev. Fry on a low-medium flame till it becomes crisp and golden from both sides.
- Remove from oil and place on an absorbent paper. Sprinkle chaat masala over it.
- Once cooled, store in an air tight container.
