Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 small green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 2 medium tomatoes, pureed
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups water
• 2 cups sev (chickpea flour noodles)
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and green chilies and sauté until the onions turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.

Step 5

Pour in the pureed tomatoes and mix well.

Step 6

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes until the oil starts separating from the masala.

Step 7

Pour water into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Just before serving, reduce the heat to low and add the sev to the simmering gravy, making sure it is well-coated with sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Do not overcook as the sev may become too soggy.

Step 9

Garnish the sev bhaji with fresh coriander leaves, garam masala, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice or Indian bread of your choice.
