Recipe
1
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and a pinch of asafoetida, letting them splutter.
2
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent and lightly golden.
3
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
4
Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander-cumin powder, and salt.
5
Cook the mixture on medium heat until the tomatoes turn soft and release oil from the edges.
6
Stir in the jaggery powder and pour in one and a half cups of water, bringing the gravy to a gentle boil.
7
Simmer the gravy for about five minutes so the flavors meld together nicely.
8
Just before serving, fold in the thick sev so it retains a slight crunch, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
9
Serve piping hot immediately alongside freshly made warm phulkas.
