An incredibly humble accompaniment, Rajasthani Sev Tamatar Ki Sabji is made using juicy tomatoes, desi masalas and served with heaps of besan sev. Here is how to make it.
The lands of Rajasthan are considered royal and rightfully so, because be it their culture, their people, their tradition or as a matter of fact, even their cuisine is indeed mesmerizing.
Right from the warm hospitality of Rajasthan which always lives by the line- “Padharo Maahre Desh!” till the generous and rich which is served to you every time you visit this majestic land, Rajasthan never ceases to rule your heart.
Having visited Rajasthan on countless occasions, it would be an understatement to say that I have been deeply influenced by its culture, tradition and of course, being a food consultant, even by its exotic cuisine.
Some of my all-time favorite dishes from this region include Rajasthani Safed Maas, Rajasthani Jaiphali Aloo, Rajasthani Mawa Kachori, Rajasthani Pitori ki Sabzi, et al.
While the aforesaid is slightly elaborate accompaniments which you could preferably make on weekend with the luxury of time, for a quick treat, you may definitely prepare Rajasthani Sev Tamatar Ki Sabji which I recently tried at home!
An incredibly humble accompaniment, Rajasthani Sev Tamatar Sabji is made using juicy tomatoes which are sautéed with desi masalas and served with heaps of besan sev.
As much as this sev ki sabji is popular in Rajasthan, it is equally liked in Gujarat as well and why not, as it is really finger-licking and takes no time to get made!
However, it’s called Sev Tameta nu Shaak in Gujarat.
Slurp over the succulent chunks of masala full tomatoes and trip over crunchy sev – oh, you are going to love Sev Tamatar Sabji so much that I simply cannot describe it!
Do note down this super easy, authentic Rajasthani accompaniment if you are already drooling and make sure to share it with your foodie friends, okay?
Which sev to use for this Sabji?
Any thick besan sev which will not get disintegrated immediately after putting in the curry will work fine in this recipe.
These varieties are mostly available at the local snack shops and not many brands sell these.
So go to your local chips and farsaan shop to source these.
Serving Suggestions
Though you could serve Sev Tamatar Ki Sabji or Sev Tameta nu Shaak with any Indian flatbread.
I suggest you must devour it with Bajre ki Roti for a change because you are surely going to love it without a doubt!
