DAHIWALE TOMATO

Three days back I visited one of my colleagues house.  I went there because he superannuated and were invited to his house.  Non veg and veg dishes were arranged by them. Being a vegetarian, I preferred to eat the dosa and bisibela bhath his wife had made.  It was lovely and I am a fan of Bisibela Bhaath. along with some kurdai, papad etc.  She had also made dahiwale tomato in her language it is thayir pachadi.  She had made it in a different style which I am sharing with you all.  It was tasty with dosa, bisibela bhaath.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

3 raw tomatoes
3 big onions
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
2 tbsp oil
1 pinch of turmeric powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder (optional) i did not use.
salt as required

seasoning:

1 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
a pinch of asafoetida
2-3 broken red chilli
few curry leaves chopped

Method:

chop the tomatoes, onion separately and keep aside.  In a kadai, heat the oil, add the onions and saute for few minutes.  add the tomatoes and saute the same till it reduces and becomes very soft.  it will take about half an hour for this process. you have to cook the same in very low fire.  add the salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder, pepper powder and saute for another two minutes. switch off gas and allow to cool completely.
add the curd. season with the items mentioned and serve with chapati, dosa, rice etc. it  will go as a side dish with molagootal, dal rice etc.


Note:  You can also grind coconut, green chilly, cumin seeds, mustard seeds and add to it. (in this case, do not use the black pepper powder and chilli powder).
