Sev

Sev is a crunchy Indian snack made from gram (besan) flour extruded into fine noodles and typically deep-fried and seasoned — popular as a tea-time nibble or crunchy topping for chaats. It is energy-dense at 590kcal per 100g and is usually higher in fat and salt than whole-legume snacks. Made from chickpea flour, it does supply plant protein and some fiber, but because it’s fried it contributes notable fat and sodium to the diet. Nutritionally, it provides a relatively good plant protein quality for a snack, and contains unsaturated fats, but it is not a significant source of antioxidant carotenoids or polyphenols and is best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for roasted or baked crunchy snacks when aiming for a healthier choice.
