I had earlier told you all that I had the habit of watching cookery shows and collecting recipes from magazines. This is one such recipe from one of a leading tamil magazine, 10 years back.
I tweaked it a bit to adjust my taste buds and the result was too good.Now for the past five years I would have done this 30 to 40 times.trust me, it pairs ultimately with idli, dosa,uthappam and appam too.
Ingredients
Tomato ...................... 3 big,chopped (preferrably sour)
Onion......................... 1 medium ,chopped
Red chilli powder ........ 1 tsp (adjust)
Salt ............................. to taste
Oil .............................. 1 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds.............. 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek seeds ..........3
Curry leaves ................ few
To roast and grind (* see note)
Mustard seeds ............... 1/4 tsp
Fenugreek seeds............ 6
Method
- Dry roast mustard and fenugreek and make a powder.(using a mortar & pestle)
- Heat oil in a deep pan.
- Once oil is hot , add mustard and fenugreek seeds.
- Now add curry leaves and chopped onion and saute until onion is translucent.
- Now add the tomatoes along with red chilli powder and some salt.
- Saute until the tomatoes turn soft.
- Take 2 tbsp of this onion,tomato mixture in a small bowl and let the remaining tomatoes cook with a cup of water ,until it gets completely mashed up.
