    I have missed posting so many traditional snack recipes in my blog. One of the common one which we make in our house is sev. It is so simple to make and takes very little effort and ingredients. But it taste so yummy. A perfect snack to accompany your evening tea or coffee. Since today is krishna jayanthy, i thought of sharing the recipe with you. Sorry i couldn't compile the krishna jayanthy recipes for you this time..

      Hi Aarthi,

      If we were to double or triple the amount of besan, do we increase the ajwain amount with the same ratio? So if I add 2 cups of besan, do I add 2 tbsp of ajwain? Thanks
