    What is Garlic Karasev?

    Garlic Karasev is a variation of traditional South Indian Karasev which is a crispy deep-fried savory snack. These crispy munchies are made with gram flour and flavored with ground garlic. It is usually made during diwali festival. These are so much better than the store-bought karasev and can be made in no time.

    How long Garlic Sev stay fresh?

    They can stay fresh for 3-4 weeks if they are stored properly in an airtight container.

    Is Galic Kara Sev Vegan?

    Yes, they are naturally vegan.

    Can I use store-bought rice flour?

    You can use store-bought rice four with no doubt.

    Tips to make the best Karasev:

    • Make sure you measure the ingredients properly and always follow the exact flour ratio.
    • Do not skip adding hot oil to the flour while making the dough. The hot oil in the dough will make them crunchy.
    • The dough should be soft and smooth.
    • Always deep fry them on a medium flame to make them crispy. If the oil is too hot, karasev will be soft.
    • Do not overcrowd the pan. Try to fry in small batches.
