- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- Salt to taste
- 6 Black Pepper Powder
- 1/2 tsp Roasted Cumin Seeds Powder
- 1/2 tsp Chaat Masala Powder
- 1/4 tsp Black Salt
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 2 tbsp Hot Oil

- 1/2 tsp Chaat Masala Powder
- 1/4 tsp Roasted Cumin Powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp Amchur Powder Dry Mango Powder

Instructions
- Roast the Puffed Rice: In a pan, dry roast the puffed rice on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until they are crisp.
- Roast the Dal and Spices: To the same pan, add the roasted gram dal, coriander seeds, and carom seeds. Roast for another minute.
- Grind to a Powder: Let the roasted mixture cool down completely, and then grind it into a fine powder using a mixer.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the ground powder, rice flour, gram flour, sesame seeds, salt, black pepper powder, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, black salt, turmeric powder, and red chilli powder. Mix well.
- Add Hot Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil until it's very hot and add it to the flour mixture. Carefully mix the oil into the flour.
- Knead the Dough: Using warm water, knead the flour mixture into a smooth dough. Add water little by little to avoid making the dough too soft.
- Shape the Snack: Fill the dough into a sev maker (shevga) with a Ribbon Disc / Flat Disc. Press out long strips of the dough onto a plate. You can cut them into smaller pieces with a knife.
- Fry the Snack: Heat oil in a pan for deep frying. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into it; it should rise to the surface immediately.
- Deep Fry: Carefully slide the shaped dough strips into the hot oil. Fry on medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Cool: Once fried, remove the snacks from the oil and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil. Let them cool down completely.
