Lahsun Sev is a flavorful variation of sev that is infused with the bold taste of garlic (lahsun). This spicy snack, made primarily from gram flour (besan), is enhanced with the addition of freshly ground garlic, which gives it a distinctive, pungent flavor. The dough for Lahsun Sev is mixed with garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, and other spices, then pressed through a sev maker and deep-fried to achieve a crispy texture.

Lahsun Sev can be eaten on its own or used as a topping for Indian street foods like chaats, poha, and bhel puri. It adds a spicy, garlicky kick to any dish it accompanies and is a favorite in many parts of India, particularly in the western and central regions.
