Milagu Sevu

மிளகு சேவு (Milagu Sevu)

Milagu sevu is a simple spicy snack. It takes very less time to prepare and easy to make. In my hometown this sevu is very famous, we called this as Koondu sevu. I’m using butter for this sevu because butter gives softness to the sevu. Oil can be used instead of butter or combination of oil and butter also gives nice texture.

Besan flour / kadalai maavu – 1 cup
Rice flour / Arisi maavu – 1 cup
Black pepper – 2 tsp
Butter – 2 tbsp
Garlic – 3 cloves ( optional)
