Ratlami Sev – Spicy Gram Flour Sev with Clove & Black Pepper
Ratlami Sev is the bold, spicy member of the sev family. We press gram flour dough into thick, crunchy strands and season them with red chilli, black pepper, clove, cumin, ginger, carom seeds and a pinch of asafoetida. The clove and pepper give it a warm, aromatic heat that lingers after every bite.
It has a firmer crunch than fine sev and is satisfying enough to eat on its own. If you want to buy Ratlami Sev online in the UK, this 175g pack is made to a traditional recipe right here in Britain.
