Mom's Tomato Curry

This is also one of my favorites from my mom’s kitchen. I love to have this curry with plain rice and yogurt. Simply delicious and yet easy to make because it calls for only few ingredients. Mom makes this curry with coconut oil. But I preferred making this dish in veg oil. 

Ingredients

• 1 Onion medium finely sliced
• 1 tbsp. ginger chopped
• 2 green chillies split
• 1 spring curry leaves
• 1 tsp. chilli powder
• ¼ tsp. turmeric powder
• 2 tomatoes medium finely sliced
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup coconut milk – thick
• Salt as required
• 2 tbsp. Veg oil plus 1 tsp.

In a non- stick pan, add 2 tbsp. oil and add onions and sauté till translucent. Add ginger, green chillies and curry leaves and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add chilli powder and turmeric powder and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Add tomatoes and ½ cup water and salt and cook till tomatoes are done. (Tomatoes will become mushy mushy)

Add coconut milk and 3 tbsp. water; cover and cook for 5 minutes. You can add more water to loosen up the consistency.

Check for salt. In another pan, add 1 tsp. oil and 1 tbsp. onion chopped and fry till onion turns golden brown. Add the fried onions to the top of the curry.

Serve with Plain rice and enjoy!!!!!
