Madhura seva / Sweet sev

     Madhura Seva (also called Sweet Sev or Sugar-Coated Sev) is a traditional South Indian sweet made during festivals or special occasions. It’s a crunchy, mildly sweet delicacy made by deep-frying gram flour dough into  strands (sev), then coating them with a sugar syrup. This treat is especially popular in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Madhura Seva makes a great tea-time snack, or a sweet ending after a festive meal. It’s also a lovely homemade treat for gifting during Diwali or Navaratri. 

Ingredients:

For Sev:

Besan (Gram flour) – 1 cup

Rice flour – 2 tbsp 

Ghee or oil – 1 tbsp

 * Salt - A pinch

Water – as needed

Oil – for deep frying

For Sugar Syrup:

Sugar – ½ cup

Water – ¼ cup

METHOD :-

 Step-by-Step Recipe:

Step 1: Prepare the Sev Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine:

1 cup besan,

2 tbsp rice flour 

A pinch of salt,

1 tbsp ghee or oil.

* Mix the ingredients well, then slowly add water little by little to make a smooth, soft dough. It should be like chapati dough. 

* Grease a murukku press or sev press with a holed disc.

* Fill the dough into the press and keep it ready.

Step 2: Fry the Sev

* Heat oil in a deep kadai on medium heat.

* Press the dough directly into the hot oil in circular motions. Do not overcrowd the pan.

* Fry until the sev turns crispy. Avoid over-frying as it may become bitter.

* Drain on paper towels. Break into 2-3 inch length wise pieces once cooled slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Sugar Syrup

* In a pan, add:

½ cup sugar

¼ cup water

* Boil until you get a one-string consistency. To test: take a little syrup between your thumb and forefinger – it should form a thin string when pulled apart.

Step 4: Mix Sev with Sugar Syrup

* Switch off the flame and quickly add the fried sev into the sugar syrup.

* Mix well so all sev pieces are coated evenly.

* Stir gently until the syrup crystallizes and coats the sev like a white sugary layer. This happens as the syrup cools. 

Let It Cool & Store:

* Let the madhura seva cool completely before storing.

* Store in an airtight container. Stays fresh for 7–10 days.

 Tips:

* Don’t overcook sugar syrup – if it goes past one-string, it’ll crystallize too fast.

ENJOY!!!!
