SEV KHAMANI WITH SPICY CORIANDER CHUTNEY
.
Surat’s famous Street Food—Sev Khamani—right in my kitchen! 😍 I love how the fluffy crushed chana dal dhokla soaks up that sweet and spicy tadka perfectly. Top it with lots of sev and pomegranate, and serve it with my special spicy green chutney for the ultimate comfort snack.
