Born in a kathiyawadi family, I had been brought up eating all kathiyawadi dishes and delicacies. Sev tameta nu shaak is the most popular dish. My mother used to make it very often as
- It is easy to make.
- Needs only few ingredients.
- No need of any prior u
- Enjoyed and loved by everyone in the family
- It can be served either with bhakri or thepla or roti or rotla or even simple khichdi.
Sev and tomato are the main ingredient of the dish. The tomatoes are cooked with the tempering made of mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder and ginger garlic paste. When tomatoes become soft, they are spiced with red chili powder, coriander cumin powder and salt. Sugar is added to balance the sourness of tomatoes. Water is added and consistency of the curry is adjusted. Just before serving the sev tameta nu shaak, sev (fried gram flour noodles) is added. The shaak is then served immediately.
Few points:Yo
Use thick sev and not the nylon sev.
The quantity of water and sev can be adjusted as per individual choice.
Be careful while adding salt to the tomato curry, as the sev also contains salt.
Add sev to the shaak, just before serving as the sev will become soft quickly. ( You can make tomato gravy prior and just before serving, reheat the gravy and add sev to it).
Friends I am sure you will love this simple and easy recipe. Do try to make it and I am sure everyone in the house will love it. Please do share your valuable feedback with me.
