This yummy dish is from Gujarat and it is often made in Jain Community due to religious reason, as this dish does not contain any green vegetable. This dish can be made also when there are no vegetables available.
The process of making differs from home to home, as per taste. Here, I have followed Jain recipe and also prepared sev using sieve and not by extruder ( sev sancha ) . You can use extruder for your convenience.
