Step 8: Closed the sev maker tightly.
Step 9: Make long strips with the sev maker and after that make spiral on to the paper. Gently press the ends of the chakri so it is not open when we fry it. Make this type of raw chakri at least more than ten. Step 10: Heat the oil for frying.

If you are frying in low or medium flame on another sides than it’s turns into golden brown and crispy. So you can take care of it.
