Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them into a bowl.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gram flour with the grated potatoes.

Add ¼ tsp turmeric powder, ¼ tsp garam masala, 1 tsp salt, and 1 pinch of asafoetida to the mixture.

Knead the mixture into a soft dough, adding water if necessary.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

After resting, grease your hands with oil and knead the dough again until smooth.

Prepare the sev machine by greasing it and attaching the fine sev attachment.

Check the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of dough into it; it should be medium hot.

Using the sev machine, press the dough into the hot oil, making sure to slide in as many sev as possible.

When the sev are slightly roasted, flip them to ensure even cooking.

Fry until the sev turn golden brown, then drain them out of the oil.

Place the fried sev on a plate to cool down.

If desired, change the attachment on the sev machine to make thicker sev and repeat the process.

For spicy bhujiya, mix the fried sev with chaat masala before serving.
