When it comes to India’s diverse snacking traditions, few treats have gained such iconic status as Indori Sev. With its crunchy texture, golden strands, and bold clove-infused flavor, Indori Sev isn’t just a snack – it’s an emotion for millions. Let’s dive into the flavorful journey of this beloved namkeen, exploring its roots, its rise in popularity, and why it deserves a permanent place in your kitchen.
Where It All Began: The Origin of Indori Sev
Indori Sev traces its roots to the bustling city of Indore, Madhya Pradesh – a city famous for its vibrant food culture and night markets. Indore’s 56 Dukan (Chhappan Dukan) food street is legendary, and at its heart is sev – served as a topping, a standalone snack, or even mixed into chaats and sandwiches.
What makes Indori Sev unique is its distinct flavor, primarily due to the addition of laung (clove) in the seasoning, giving it a warm, spicy kick that lingers. It’s made from gram flour (besan), pressed through a fine sev maker, and deep-fried until crispy.
A Crunch That Captured Hearts: The Rise in Popularity
Once limited to Indore and nearby regions, Indori Sev soon traveled beyond the state lines – thanks to its unforgettable taste and versatility. As the demand for regional specialties grew across India, so did the popularity of this sev. Food lovers began recognizing it as more than just a topping for poha – it became a snack in its own right.
Today, you’ll find Indori Sev in homes, college hostels, and offices across India, served with tea, sprinkled on salads, or simply munched straight from the packet.
