To make palak pudina sev, first we need to make the green paste. Combine spinach, mint leaves, coriander, green chillies, garlic, lemon juice, salt and water in a mixer jar and blend till smooth.

Grease the sev "press" mould with little oil, transfer the dough into it, press it properly and cover it with the lid. Press out thin strands of the sev into the hot oil, a few at a time and deep-fry on a slow flame till it turns very light brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.

Making sev is very simple. Be careful about deep-frying Indian style palak sev Diwali snack on a slow flame. Since the strands are very thin, they tend to burn quickly. You can also add finely chopped onions and sprinkle a little lemon juice over the sev, toss it and enjoy it as a variation. Try other jar snack recipes like Phoolwadi or Namak Para Savoury.

Tips for palak pudina sev. 1. It is best to make the paste just before kneading the dough, to get the perfect colour of the sev. 2. The garlic in the paste is a flavour enhancer, but Jains can avoid adding it. 3. We suggest that you add the paste gradually while adding the dough, since the quality of the flour varies and thus the amount of water it may absorb for binding also may vary. 4. After frying, break into pieces and allow it to cool completely before storing. Any warmth remaining in the sev while storing might make it soggy.

  7. Flip and fry on the other side.
  8. Flip and fry multiple times till the palak pudina sev is evenly cooked from all the sides. Do not cook once the bubbling sound stops, as it will just make the sev bitter on over frying.
