BM # 26 Day 1
The second week of BM # 26 starts today and for the next two days I shall cook under the theme Kid’s Delight Back to Hostel .In short food with a good shelf life and enjoyed by kids!
Sev is a crisp vermicelli made of gram flour and is used to top almost all chaats. It is not only for toppings but relished as such too. A farsaan shop would be full of different varieties of this sev. Different flavors like pepper sev, spinach sev, garlic sev are quite popular. I like the moadi sev for kids, as this has just salt and my little kiddos love it. Personally I like the jaadi teekhi sev, which is thick and spicy.This sev has a very good shelf life if stored in zip locks.I am sure if you pack these and send to the kidds they will love it.
For today I have made three varieties of sev.
Moadi Sev

Home-made sev are so much delicious than the store bought ones. And, the best part is you can adjust the seasoning as per your taste. Love it!
