Serve this as part of an Indian dinner or as a vegetarian main course with rice. It is not easy to buy green tomatoes here, I have once tried to make this with red tomatoes, don't bother it will turn into a pulp, you want the tomatoes still in a chunky state when cooked. To my taste buds this is hot and spicy, adjust the heat to your own preference Ingredients:
1 lb green tomato, approx |
1/4 cup oil (for frying) |
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds or 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed |
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed |
2 green chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped (or more) |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
2 teaspoons ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder |
1/2 teaspoon mango powder or 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice |
salt |
sugar |
2 cloves crushed garlic |
Directions:
1. Wash and quarter the tomatoes, if they are very large, halve the quarters again.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan; add the fenugreek and cumin seeds.
3. When they start to crackle add the tomatoes and green chilies, fry this for 2 minutes.
4. Add everything else except the garlic, stir, cover and cook for approx 6 minutes.
5. Uncover, add the garlic, turn up the heat and stir fry for 2/3 minutes, you will see that the oil which was separating first will now blend and make it more saucy together with the juices from the tomatoes.
