Recipe
1
Heat oil in a pan or kadhai over medium heat and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafoetida, letting them crackle.
2
Add the finely chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander-cumin powder, and salt. Sauté well until the tomatoes turn soft and release oil.
3
Add the grated jaggery and water to the tomato mixture, stirring to combine. Bring the gravy to a gentle boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
4
Just before serving, stir in the thick nylon sev into the hot tomato gravy and turn off the heat so the sev retains some crunch.
5
Garnish generously with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately with warm, soft phulkas.
