2. Add water little by little to the flour and knead it to a soft pliable dough.  Cover the dough and rest it for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. While dough is resting, heat sufficient oil in a frying pan on medium heat and line the plate with paper towel and keep it ready. 

4. Grease murukku mould and a sev or circle shaped plate with little oil.  Fill sufficient portion of dough into the murukku mould and fix it. 

Frying the Sev:
5. When Oil is hot enough, Lower the heat and press the sev directly to the oil spirally. Deep fry the sev on both the side till it turns golden brown and crispy.

6. Remove and transfer it to plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil.
7. Break the sev in to bite size pieces. Cool and store in an air-tight container.
8. Repeat the same with rest of the dough. For next batch, increase the oil heat for few minutes and lower when dropping the sev.

Note: For large quantity of sev,  do not knead the entire quantity with water. Instead, divide the mixed flour in to small portions and knead, single portion with water it into dough before frying. This is will ensure to retain the color of it.                                          w                                                                                      w   w sarasyummyrecipes.com
