Tomato Kurma

Today I thought of making poori and checked in the fridge to see the vegetables available to make curry. But there was absolutely no vegetables I could make curry with, except tomatoes. So I thought of making tomato Kurma which I had never tried making as side dish for Poori. It tasted so good with poori. So even if you don't have any vegetables, no worries just try doing this Kurma and it goes well with almost all dishes including rice. Especially curd rice.
Now coming back to the recipe, add the things given under "to grind" into a fine paste with little water.



Ingredients:

2 Onions chopped
5 Small Tomatoes finely chopped
1 tsp Fennel seeds
1 tsp Mustard seeds
1 Bay leaf
1 Clove
A Pinch of Hing
Oil as reqd
Salt as reqd
1/2 tsp Sugar
Coriander leaves to garnish

To Grind into fine paste:
1/2 Cup grated Coconut
10-15 Almonds and Cashews(can use cashews alone)
2 tbsp Khas Khas (Poppy seeds)
2 Green chillies
4 Red chillies
1 tbsp Coriander seeds
1 tsp Fennel seeds
1/2 tsp Garam masala powder

Method:

1. Heat oil in a pan, once it is hot add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Now add the fennel seeds, bay leaves and cloves. Fry them till you get a nice aroma.
2. Once it is done, add the Onions and fry till it turns golden color.
3. Now add the chopped tomatoes,hing and cook them until the tomaotes turn soft.
4. Finally add the ground masala. Add required amount of water,sugar,salt and boil it in low flame for 10 min.
