2 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Powdered Sugar

Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the besan (Bengal gram flour), turmeric powder, asafoetida (hing), lemon juice, powdered sugar, oil, and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a semi-soft dough.
2
Shape the prepared dough into a cylindrical roll so it fits easily into your sev press.
3
Select the plate with the thinnest holes for the sev press. Place the dough into the press, close the lid tightly, and press out thin strands onto a greased baking tray.
4
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C (400°F) until the strands turn light brown and crispy.
5
Allow the baked sev to cool down completely. Once cooled, you can crush them between your palms as desired. Store in an air-tight container and use as a crunchy topping for snacks like bhel or sev puri.
