A quick, tangy tomato curry finished with a generous mound of crispy gram flour sev — the sev softening at the edges as it absorbs the tomato gravy while retaining its crunch in the centre. The simplest and most beloved quick-meal of the Kutchi and Gujarati household, ready in under fifteen minutes and eaten with rotli or bajra rotlo.
