Sev Tomato Subzi | Sev Tameta Nu Shaak

Sev tomato sabzi is an Indian curry from Rajasthani cuisine in India. Rajasthan is a state in the north-western part of India with a rich culture and heritage that has roots in the Indus valley civilization. Rajasthan’s cuisine is deeply influenced by its diverse topography, many kingdoms that ruled the region over time, and the weather conditions. A key characteristic of Rajasthani cuisine is the variety, richness, and exotic preparations that are representative of the many kingdoms that have influenced food preparation over many centuries. The princely cuisine was dominated by meats, ghee, dry fruits, and milk products. We will also find some popular food items that are representing the common people or nomadic and agricultural tribes who led a basic style of living. Some of the staple foods like “Papad ki Subzi” and “Bajra ki roti”, use easily available and affordable ingredients. One such simple dish from Rajasthan is the “Sev Tomato Subzi” or also called traditionally as “Sev Tameta Nu Shaak -  સેવ ટમાટર નું શાક”. The sev tomato subzi is a spicy and tangy curry that is often eaten with local bread made of Bajra (millets). The first time I tried this subzi was at a Rajasthani Dhaba almost 20 years back. The memory of eating sev tomato subzi with hot rotis served by the tribal chef was an unforgettable experience. I am sharing with you the recipe for Sev tomato subji that was created by my wife. She served the “Sev Tomato subzi” with a side of rotis, raw onions and green chilis. This dish was the closest in taste to the “Sev Tomato subzi” I had eaten at the Dhaba almost 20 years back. To prepare Sev tomato subji, you need Indian Sev as the main ingredient. Sev is a popular Indian snack food consisting of small pieces of crunchy noodles made from chickpea flour paste, often seasoned with spices before being deep frying in oil. Every Indian grocery shop will carry some varieties of sev as it is a typical Indian snack. The other ingredients are common items like Onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, some spices and cilantro.
