Potato kara sev recipe with step by step photos.

1. Boil,peel and mash the potatoes very well. There should be no lump at all. Heat oil for deep frying.

2. Add gram flour, cumin seeds, salt, chili powder and mix well.

3. Take 2 tablespoons of hot oil and add to this potato flour mixture. Mix well.

4. Now start kneading, no need to water. Even without water the dough will be little sticky and it is fine.

6. Press into hot oil and deep fry. Once pressed keep the flame in medium and deep fry till the sizzling sound ceases. Turn the pressed sev once in a while gently while frying.

7. Allow to cool thoroughly and store potato kara sev in a airtight container.
