Tamatar Sev ki Sabji/Sev Tameta nu Shaak
This delicacy is served on the road side dhabas and is made with tomato with spicy sev in it. Sev Tamatar Ki Sabzi is the term used in Rajasthan and this curry is also very famous in Gujrat and they call it as Sev Tameta nu Shaak.
The cooking pattern in Gujrati and Rajasthani is almost same just slight difference in the taste. In Rajasthan it is made bit spicy but in Gujrat slight sugar is added to the dish to make it Sweet, Tangy and Spicy.
