Crisp chickpea-flour noodles

Sev

Sev is already the Indian name; given without units, so no conversion supplied.

Nothing truly replaces sev's crisp extruded gram-flour texture, but crushed papad is the closest everyday option.

• 
  Lentil crisp

  Crush or break into small crisp pieces and use the same weight as sev; add at the last moment so it stays crisp. It gives a salty crunch but not sev's fine noodle shape.

• 
  Fried split chickpeas

  Crush coarsely and use the same weight; it gives a nutty, crisp legume taste. Add just before serving, as it softens in hot gravy.

• 
  Breadcrumbs

  Toast in a little ghee until crisp and use the same weight; substitute only for texture as a garnish, not for sev eaten on its own.
