Garlic Kara Sev | Sattur Kara Sev | Kara Sev Recipe

Garlic Kara Sev, a delicious savory snack made from gram flour and flavored with garlic. Long time ago, I had seen this Sattur kara sev recipe on a TV cooking show and immediately  made a note on this recipe in my drafts. 

Sattur is a small town in South tamilnadu and it's famous for its sev, kadalai mittai & inji marapa, often seen that the vendors selling them in the train when we cross sattur. But never bought any from those vendors so far. 

Though I make kara sev often at home as our snack for tea time, never tried to flavor it with garlic. Few weeks back, I tried this garlic sev  as a snack for evening tea.

It was so good and flavorful. Making this sev is  so similar to regular sev. Adding garlic truly elevates the taste and flavor in abundance. Feel like the flavor intensifies with the time, the flavor was so intense on the next day than the day that it was made.
