sev tameta nu shaak recipe with step by step photos – here’s a quick & easy gujarati recipe of sev tamatar sabzi. basically spicy, sweet and tangy tomato curry topped with crisp sev.

i had got a couple of requests to post this recipe. one recipe request was a dhaba style version too. what i am posting now is a homely no onion no garlic version. i will be adding the dhaba style sev tamatar sabzi also in some time. an easy no frills curry recipe that takes about 20 to 25 minutes to prepare.

this sev tomato shaak is too good and the sev adds a lot of flavor, taste and texture to the dish. sev are are crisp fried gram flour vermicelli. if you live outside india, you can get them easily in an indian grocery or sweets shop. you can buy them online too. the variety i added to this shaak or sabzi was slightly thick than the fine sev variety we use for chaat items like sev puri, bhel puri etc. you can use any variety.

sev tameta nu shaak can be served with soft phulkas or chapatis or bajra rotis. also tastes good with thepla. the shaak will taste nice with bread too.
