Sev Tomato Sabji

This sabji is a typical gujarati sabji which is very easy to prepare but tastes very nice,I learnt this recipe when we were in Ahmedabad.My son was in Sr.Kg and in the evenings he used to attend Skating classes.I had to drop him and pick up from the class.To avoid this pain,I started waiting outside the skating arena .There I befriended many parents.One such parent was Mrs.Patel(I ve forgotten her First Name).We used to exchange some recipes.One such recipe is Sev Tomato Sabji.As any other regional dishes ,this sabji also can be prepared in 'n' number of ways.This is one of the 'n' methods.:-)

Ingredients
Tomatoes 500 gms
Thick Sev/Shev 200 gms(similar to omapodi/karasev)
Garlic 6 to 8 cloves(crushed)

Mustard seeds 1 tsp
Cummin seeds/Jira 1 tsp
Garam Masala powder 2 tsp
Red chilli powder to taste
Jaggery 1 tbsp

Padma..are you using macro feature in the camera for taking close up pictures of these dishes? If not you should try that..'Macro' mode provides crisp and focused shots in closeup range..
