I learnt this recipe from my mom, for tomato lovers i am sure this will give you a different taste.

• Ripe tomatoes - 6 chopped


• Oil - 5 tsp


• salt

Fresh grind:

• Coconut grated - 2 tsp


• Pepper - 1/2 tsp


• Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp


• Saunf/Sombhu - 1 tsp


• Dry red chillies - 2[ according to your spice]


• Khus khus/kasa kasa - a pinch

Preparation:

• Grind all the ingredients specified under "Fresh grind" to a fine paste and keep it aside


• Heat oil in the kadai, add the chopped tomotoes, with required salt.


• Keep the flame in lower medium, close and cook for 3 min


• The tomotoes should be totally mushy, once you reach this stage


• Add the ground masala, with 1/4 cup of water


• Allow it boil in lower medium flame, till the raw smell goes off.


• If you feel the gravy is too tangy, add pinch of sugar, this will remove the tanginess.

This goes well with rice,chappati,dosa and idli.
