Sev - Tomato sabji

Here comes another recipe....

There are times you don't feel like cooking or want to make something very quick and with less efforts or you don't have vegetables at home,here is one of the simplest and tasty sabji you can make in no time.........Sev-tomato sabji.This is basically a Rajasthani dish and mostly prepared by gujaratis and marwadis.

This recipe takes me back to my hostel days.We had Rajasthani cooks in our hostel mess.Sometimes we used to get late for the dinner and the sabji used to get over.In such situation they used to make this sev-tomato sabji as it can be cooked in no time and believe me it used to be so yummy,out of this world!!!!!! I can never forget that taste.It was one of the very few tasty recipes they used to make, he...he :D. The tangy taste of tomatoes and the light sweetness of jaggery mixed together gives this recipe a wonderful flavour.
