Thin sev — fine, golden strands of crispy chickpea flour noodles — is one of the most versatile and addictive ingredients in the world of Indian snack food. Made by pressing seasoned besan (chickpea flour) dough through a fine-holed press directly into hot oil, thin sev emerges as a tangle of light, extraordinarily crispy threads with a delicately spiced, nutty flavour that makes them quite impossible to stop eating once started. Lioncroft's Thin Sev is produced to a consistent quality, offering the fine texture and reliable crunch that great chaat and snack preparation demands.

Thin sev is the essential finishing garnish for virtually the entire canon of Indian street food — piled high over bhel puri, sev puri, dahi bhalla, ragda pattice, and papdi chaat for the visual drama and essential textural contrast that makes these dishes so complete and satisfying. Stirred into a bowl of bhel puri, it provides both texture and flavour in every bite. Eaten simply as a standalone snack with a cup of chai, thin sev is one of life's great simple pleasures. It can also be used as a crunchy topping for soups and salads or crumbled into sandwiches and wraps for an unexpected, delicious crunch. Lioncroft's Thin Sev is a pantry staple for anyone who loves authentic Indian street food flavours at home.
