About
Karasev is a spicy, deep-fried snack from the Tamil Nadu region in South India. It's made from gram flour, rice flour, black pepper, and a blend of other spices. Perfect as an accompaniment for evening beverages, it is crispy and packed with flavor. The word 'Kara' means spicy and 'Sev' refers to the texture of the snack which comes from the Sev mould in which it is made. This snack is popular all over India, especially during festive occasions such as Diwali. But it isn't just restricted to festivals and makes a great everyday snack as well.
