How to proceed

  1. 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.
  2. Add the capsicum and corn and sauté on a medium flame for another minute.
  3. Remove from the flame, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  4. Serve immediately topped with baked sev and lemon wedges.

Tips
  1. Ensure you press out very thin sev so that it bakes and turns crisper evenly.
