Sev Tomato

We got new neighbors a month ago, Gujarati couple. 'Sev Ki Sabzi' is what I heard for the first time from them. In their words, 'Sev ki sabzi is very easy and quick dish that goes well with any kind of rotis'. I thought of giving it a try and picked the version of 'Sev Tomato' from Sanjeev Kapoor's Khana Khazana. It is really a quick dish, and went well when served hot with rotis.

Ingredients:

 4 to 5 Medium Sized Tomatoes,
 1 Cup Sev (I preferred Bhujia Sev),
 2 Table spoons oil,
 1 Table spoon Red chilli powder,
 1 Table spoon Jeera powder,
 1 Table spoon Coriander powder,
 1/2 Table spoon Turmeric powder,
 Salt to taste,
 1/2 Table spoon Mustard seeds/Rai,
 1/2 Table spoon Jeera,
 8 to 10 Curry Leaves,
 Pinch of Asafoetida,
 3 Green Chillies, slit into half,
 1 Table spoon Sugar,
 1 cup finely chopped green coriander.

Preparation:

• Cut the tomatoes into medium sized pieces.
• Heat oil in a pan, and when the oil is hot add hing and mustard seeds and saute it for a while and add jeera and saute it.
• Once the mustard seeds and jeera start jumping add, green chillies to it and again saute it till the chillies got fried well and add the curry leaves.
• Now add tomatoes and saute them for a while. Add turmeric, red chilli powder, jeera powder, coriander powder, sugar, half cup of finely chopped coriander leaves and salt.
• Mix the ingredients well and cook them for a while with a lid.
• Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the remaining half cup chopped coriander leaves.
• Finally, add the Sev just before serving.
