    Karasev has to be in diwali menu always...We make this in bulk and pack it in individual covers and sent to our relatives house. Amma makes this using her years old recipe, which was passed from my grandma..And it is a no fail recipe..

    This is a spicy, crispy snack which is so easy to make..Just calls for simple ingredients but the measurements is the key stuff. Follow that and you will get perfect kara sev each time.
