‘Tomato gathiya nu shaak’ is a very unusual but delicious sweet n sour Kathiawadi recipe. This is a simple home style curry that usually you won’t find in fancy restaurant menus. It is made with simmering ‘Gathiyas’ or ‘Sev’ (Fried gramflour snacks) in a lip smacking tomato based gravy. And yes….. a keeper dish for those days when you don’t have sufficient vegetables at home, as a packet of gathiya comes handy. Ideal for simple & no fuss weekend meals !

One thing that I absolutely love about Gujarati cuisine is that they do not depend only on 'Veggies' to make meals. But anything handy like a packet of papad, farsaan, besan, mangodi can become the hero of their entire breakfast, snack or even main course. Like see here, such a simple recipe and what beautiful flavors! Well if you love Gujarati recipes and want to try some, then go for rice khichu, khaman dhokala and amiri khaman. 

Do not miss to refer the TIPS before trying out this recipe.



*Garnish tomato gathiya nu shaak with freshly chopped coriander, onion, tomato and relish with piping hot phulkas, bhakhri, methi thepla ,  palak thepla or dhaniya masala parantha. Do not miss to team along Marwari hari mirch ka achaar and ginger chilly pickle. 

*For a quick lunch serve with easy paneer bhurji, ajwain aloo along with some kabuli chaat. Team up with instant garlic pickle !
