FAQs
From: Authentic Makers in Sattur
Q1: What makes Sattur Kara Sev special?
Sattur Kara Sev is a traditional spicy snack made from chickpea flour (besan), garlic, and a unique blend of spices. It’s known for its crisp texture, bold flavor, and the signature spiciness that reflects the local Sattur taste. Handmade using age-old methods, it’s a popular teatime snack across Tamil Nadu.
Q2: Is Sattur Kara Sev very spicy?
Yes, it is moderately to highly spicy depending on the batch. The spiciness comes from freshly ground black pepper and red chilli powder — not artificial flavoring — which gives it an authentic and robust flavor.
Q3: How long does it stay fresh, and how should I store it?
Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It stays fresh and crispy for up to 45–60 days without any preservatives.
