How tempting and dangerously addictive palak sev, just love chaklis with palak but yet to make sev with. Tasty crunchy munchies, prefect savory for diwali definitely.

Palak sev is a nice option. I am sure it is flavorful with the essence of palak puree and the Evergreen besan .

Adding palak puree to the sev dough is a wonderful idea. A different kind of sev from the usual one I make. A wonderful share for the Diwali Dhamaka.
