OLI SHEV

Oli (moist) Shev is made from steamed chickpea flour. It does not crisp up like the regular deep fried Sev / Shev hence named thus.

It can be served for breakfast or as a quick afternoon snack. The best part is it can be made in advance and just assembled together at the time of serving. And you need not warm it up either coz it can be served at room temp.
