Method

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and fry the mustard seeds for 30 seconds, then add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes until soft.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped tomatoes, ground turmeric and chilli powder, and cook for 10-12 minutes, mashing the tomatoes down, until you have a thick, jammy sauce.

  3. 3

    Stir in the jaggery and season to taste.

  4. 4

    Scatter the sev over the top just before serving, so it stays crisp, along with the chopped coriander.

  5. 5

    Serve hot with bread or flatbread on the side.
