What Is Sev No-0?
Sev is a popular Indian namkeen made by extruding seasoned besan (chickpea flour) dough through a fine-holed press directly into hot oil, creating thin, crispy strands. The grading system – No-0, No-1, No-2, and so on – refers to the thickness of the strands, with No-0 being the thinnest and finest grade. This ultra-fine variety is prized for its delicate crunch, light texture, and ability to absorb flavours from other ingredients, making Kalyan Sev No-0 the go-to choice for chaat lovers and home cooks who want authentic results.

How to Enjoy
As a Standalone Snack
Serve Kalyan Sev No-0 in a bowl alongside a hot cup of masala chai or coffee. Its light, crispy texture and mild spice make it an ideal tea-time companion – satisfying without being heavy.
As a Chaat Topping
-
Bhel Puri: Combine puffed rice, chopped onion, tomato, boiled potato, green chutney, and tamarind chutney. Top generously with Kalyan Sev No-0 just before serving for maximum crunch.
-
Sev Puri: Place small puris on a plate, top with potato, chutneys, and a thick layer of Kalyan Sev No-0 200g for the classic Mumbai street food experience.
-
Dahi Chaat: Spoon yoghurt over your chaat base, drizzle with chutneys, and finish with a generous handful of sev for texture contrast.
As a Garnish in Everyday Cooking
- Sprinkle over poha or upma just before serving for an added crunch.
- Use as a topping on dal or kadhi for a textural contrast.
- Add to salads or raita as a crispy garnish in place of croutons.
Tip: Always add sev at the very last moment before serving – this preserves its crunch and prevents it from going soggy from moisture in chutneys or yoghurt.
