Shev bhaji

The recipe of spicy gravy with sev is called as Shev Bhaji in Marathi. When I make shev bhaji at my home I have to make extra chapattis or bhakri (ज्वारीची भाकरी / बाजरीची भाकरी jawar or bajra roti) . My mom use to make gravy masala of shevechi  bhaji on pata- warwanta(पाटा वरवंटा )  & always made it in Iron Kadhai (लोखंडी कढई lokhandi kadhai). My mom was very patient lady, sometimes we used to ask her randomly to make this recipe and if at that time there is no ready-made Shev is at home my mom made it with Sev maker . I still remember the taste of that tasty gravy. My mom was Gujarati but born and brought up in Maharashtra so both shev bhaji and sev tameta nu shaak was cooked at my home. Shev tameta nu shaak comparatively takes less time to cook as compare to shev bhaji, but for spicy food fans it’s a feast .Shev bhaji or shev rasa bhaji is made in different ways in each parts of Maharashtra.

Kolhapuri garam masala is comparatively very hot as compare to kala masala or garam masala.

Notes for making healthy and perfect shev bhaji

  1. Add less oil while making masala, as shev has already lots of oil in it.
  2. Add shev when you r serving it. Keep the shev bhaji gravy ready when its time to serve it make I hot and add shev to it and serve it immediately otherwise shev becomes very soft.
  3. If you want to remove oil from shev to make it low calorie add shev in water and then remove it and then add it in shev bhaji rasa. By this method we can remove the extra oil in shev (in water). Well this is for those who want to eat interesting but on diet regime.
