Preheat oven to 200 C or 400 F. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Sift flour into a large bowl.
Add asafetida, ground turmeric and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Using fingertips, gently mix so the flour resembles breadcrumbs.
Add water gradually to form soft dough.
Grease sev press with oil. Use mold with smallest holes.
Place dough in the press (in batches if required).
Close with lid and press out thin strands onto the baking trays.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are crispy. Once cooked, break into small strands and store in an airtight container.
Serve as snack or use as a topping for chaats.
Alternatively, you can air fry or deep fry. To deep fry, simply press the noodles straight into hot oil and fry until golden and crisp.
