Thin sev mixture or kara sev mixture recipe explained with step by step pictures and a quick video. Thin kara sev mixture is prepared using gram flour, peanuts, roastd gram and few other spices. This thin kara sev mixture is very easy to make and tastes delicious.
I have posted 2 more mixture recipes on this website like thin beaten rice or avalakki mixture and field beans or avarekaalu mixture recipes.
This is a continuation of my earlier post thin kara sev or plain sev. We do not prefer eating plain sev, instead I make different types of mixture using the sev. Here I have explained a simple and most common type of mixture using thin sev. You can add or leave any ingredients you wish. Even the quantity of peanuts or roasted gram can be varied as per your choice. My Mother will add deep fried thick beaten rice or poha. I have made a quick video on sev recipe, which I have embedded it below. Kindly have a look.

Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 10 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients for sev: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup gram flour or besan or kadlehittu
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp carom seeds or ajwain seeds or Oma kaalu
- 1/2 tsp salt
- A generous pinch of asafoetida
- 1 tbsp hot oil
- Oil to deep fry
Ingredients for mixture: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 4 tbsp peanuts or ground nut or shenga
- 4 tbsp roasted gram or hurigadale or putani
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- 1/4 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp oil
- Salt as per your taste
- 7 - 8 cashews (optional)
- 1 tbsp dry coconut slices (optional)
Instructions for making thin sev mixture:
- Crush or grind the carom seeds and sieve it.
- Take gram flour in a wide bowl.
- Add in red chili powder, ajwain or carom seeds powder, salt and asafoetida. Give a quick mix.
- Add in 1 tbsp of hot oil and mix well again.
- Now sprinkle water little by little and prepare the dough. The dough should be having very thick sticky paste consistency. Or I would say little thinner than soft chapathi dough.
- Now take the kara sev making mould along with the plate having many small holes. Fill in the dough in to the mould using a spoon.
- Heat the oil in a wide frying pan. And press the dough directly in to the hot oil using the mould.
- Fry under medium flame until the bubbles or sound has stopped.
- Once done take it out from the oil. Once cool, crush it slightly and keep it aside.
- Next in a frying pan heat 1 tsp of oil and roast the peanuts along with curry leaves under low medium flame.
- When the peanuts are roasted and crispy, reduce the flame and add in roasted gram. Also add in red chili powder as per your spice level.
- Give a quick mix and switch off the stove. Also add in a pinch of salt or as per your taste. Give a good mix.
- Add this to the crushed kara sev.
- Mix them well using hands and enjoy the thin sev mixture along with a cup of tea.
