I am a big fan of cooking shows. When I was in Bangalore, I used to watch them for hours. I wrote down most of the recipes that I liked but never tried them myself. In one such program I had seen this recipe. When I saw the small cherry tomatoes in grocery stores here, I thought of trying this dish. This came out really good, so thought of posting it here.
Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 tbl spn cashew nuts
1 tbl spn badam
1 tbl spn pea nuts(ground nut)
1 tea spn ghee
a pinch turmeric
1 tea spn chili powder
1/2 tea spn garam masala
1/2 tea spn cumin seeds(jeera)
1/4 cup milk
2 tbl spns yogurt(curd)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tbl spn cream
2-3 strands coriander leaves
Salt
I did not add coconut milk, badam and cream when I prepared it here.
Method:
Roast badam, pea nuts and cashew nuts. Grind them into a smooth paste.
Heat ghee and add cumin seeds. When they start popping, add the paste and fry for 3-4mins.
Add turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, milk and mix well. Add yogurt(curd), salt, tomatoes and cook on a low flame for around 7-8mins. Add coconut milk, cream and cook for another 2-3mins. Garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve hot with chapathis.
Serves : 3-4
Preparation time : 20mins
Wow! I have never tried combining all the three nuts, cool will try it today and let you know how it turns out.
Hi! Shilpa
Curried tomatoes look great.Thanks for sharing
Hey Shilpa,
Looks very delicious and also easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing.
A nice nutty gravy with tomotoes as the “centerpiece” and not a part of the gravy! A neat twist to our traditional tomato gravy!
I love cooking shows too.
Tomato curry sounds rich and yummy!
I always avoid buying cherry tomatoes as I don’t know what to make with them. Sometimes I use them while making pasta. This is a cool dish. Thanks.
