This simple to make yummy tomato gravy (Tomato gojju as it is called in Kannada) goes very well with hot steamed rice or rotis/chapatis or even dosas.
This recipe is handed over to me by my sweet mom. She loves making only simple dishes which are easy and quick to make using the ordinary readily available ingredients in the kitchen. She hates long cooking methods. She just wants to be done with cooking in few minutes. She is super fast in everything. I have inherited most of the qualities from her except few :P She is a very generous lady which I am not :(
Anyway let's get down to the recipe. Before that, I would like to give you a list of benefits of tomatoes.
These little red coloured fruits (veggies) are filled with nutrients, antioxidants & Vitamin A which improves eye sight and the antioxidant lycopene present fights against cancer. Tomatoes are good for bone and skin too.
Preparation time: 5 mins | Cooking time: 10 mins | Serves: 4
Ingredients:
Ripe tomatoes (big) - 5 nos. - finely chopped
Onion (big) - 1 no. - finely chopped
Garlic - few cloves - crushed
Curry leaves - few
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp - finely chopped
Refined Oil - 3 tbsp
Sambhar powder - 2/3 tsp (according to the spiciness you need)
Turmeric powder - 1 pinch
Salt - according to taste
Mustard - 2 tsp
Water (optional)
Green or Red chillies (optional, if you want it more spicier)
Method:
Heat a pan with the oil, add mustard-curry leaves-garlic and saute. Add the onion and fry until it gets slightly brown, add coriander leaves and tomatoes. Cover the lid and cook until the tomatoes are done. Mash the tomatoes if needed to get a gravy consistency. Add salt, turmeric powder and sambhar powder and fry until the oil oozes out. Your gravy is done. If you want a thinner version, then add water and boil for few more minutes until the oil floats.
