This is so wonderful to think that we are blessed with such culinary skills to transform our tea time snack into a yummy delightful main course dish. One such dish is Sev Tamatar Ki Sabji. To make this dish the besan sev which we enjoy with our evening tea is used as a key ingredient in this Rajasthani style sabji
An incredibly easy and tasty sev tamatar ki sabji is a Rajasthani speciality which is cooked quite often in my kitchen. Whenever I am short of vegetables the only dish which comes to my mind to cook is this tangy-spicy yet delicious sabji. The tang comes with juicy tomatoes and a dash of lime juice which is added just before to finish the dish. Though a thick variety of sev is used in this dish yet they are added after the gravy is cooked. This is done to avoid them being mushy
