sebya

Sebya is a traditional Indian dish, particularly popular in the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. It is a spicy, tangy, and flavorful dish made from fermented black chickpeas, known as sebya dal. The fermentation process gives the dish its unique taste and aroma. The primary ingredients include sebya dal, onions, tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices such as mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric, and red chili powder. The dish is typically cooked in a pressure cooker or a deep pan, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Sebya is often served with rice or roti, and it pairs well with a variety of side dishes such as sambar, rasam, or curd. It is a staple in many South Indian households and is also a popular street food. The dish is known for its rich, earthy flavor and its ability to invigorate the palate with its spicy kick. Sebya is not only a culinary delight but also a reflection of the rich culinary heritage of South India.
