Base Mixture

I'd like to share today a quick and easy recipe of a very versatile dish - Tasty Tomatoes, which can be had with bread or chappati, used as a pizza sauce and as base to make masala scrambled eggs or potato / cauliflower dry vegetable.

Ingredients

5 medium sized tomatoes
2 green chillies
Few coriander leaves
2 tbsps oil
1 medium sized onion
1/2" piece ginger
1/2 tsp coriander powder
Salt to taste

Procedure

Chop all vegetables fine and keep them separately. in a thick bottomed kadai heat oil. Add finely chopped ginger and green chillies. When light brown add onions and stir on low flame for 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, coriander powder, salt and half the coriander leaves. Cover with tight lid and cook on low flame 10-15 minutes, stirrig occassionaly. Mix well with wooden blender. The tomatoes should now have a thick consistency. Serve hot, topped with remaining coriander leaves with plain or toasted bread and potato wafers.

It's a good idea to make this before the weekend, so you can enjoy several tomato based dishes with little effort.... a tasty breakfast, a quick fix snack (pizza) when guests arrive at short notice or when you want to have a dry vegetable with rotis or paratha. I find making tomatoes in this form very convenient... hope you too...
