Seyal Dabal | Sindhi Special Seyal Bread Recipe | Breakfast Recipes by Masterchefmom

Hi Supermoms,

Can left overs be made into yummy dishes? Yes, of course . I am not sure whether you have heard about this amazingly tasty Sindhi dish - Seyal dabal. This recipe calls for the use of 3-4 day old Pav breads/buns but you can use fresh ones too. I love Sindhi Cuisine and always order for Seyal Dabal whenever we visit our favourite Sindhi Resto. 

But when I came to know how simple it is to make from my instagram friend Bhavna, I just could not  resist myself to try it at home. In fact, made it even today morning for breakfast as I had a full packet of pav bread left and this was the quickest way to use them up. 

When you have a packet of pav buns/ regular buns/ hot dogs that have been ignored for some time, you know what to make. 

A simple and yummy breakfast recipe .

4. Now add the tomato puree' , salt and allow them to cook for 4-5 minutes over low/medium flame.

Chef tip : You can close and cook the tomatoes till the raw smell disappears and the oil starts to separate. 

5. Add water ( approximately 2 cups ) and allow it to come to a boil.
