1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped capsicum
1 cup boiled sweet corn kernels
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped unpeeled apples

Method

For the baked sev

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, add enough water, mix well and knead into semi-stiff dough.
Lightly grease your hands with oil and shape the dough into a roll.
Fill the dough into the sev ‘press’ and press out thin strands onto a greased baking tray.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 8 to 10 minutes or till it becomes crisp and turns light brown in colour.
Cool completely, crush it and keep aside.

How to proceed

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the onions and sauté on a medium flame till they turn translucent. Sprinkle a little water to avoid the onions from burning.
Add the capsicum and corn and sauté on a medium flame for another minute.
Remove from the flame, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Serve immediately topped with baked sev and lemon wedges.
