Tomato / Thakkali pachadi

My blog's new posts are not updated in the TOI directory, so please subscribe to "simple and delicious" to your Email or using your favourite reader..

What about a lunch with rice, curd, green chillies, mashed tomatoes and little salt? It tastes wonderful and it is H's favourite! Some times when getting bored of our usual curries, I prefer taking the tomato,green chilly, curd plus salt mixture with well cooked rice. So some one loves those ingredients may surely love this pachadi too..!



Ingredients
Tomatoes 3
green chillies 3
salt

Crush,
small onions 4
ginger 1/4 " piece

Blend,
coconut grated 3/4 cups
curd 2 or 3 Tbsp
mustard seeds 1/2 tsp

Garnish,
curryleaves few
mustard seeds
red chillies
coconut oil



How to prepare
Chop tomatoes. Crush them with hand. Cook this with chopped green chillies , salt , crushed ginger and shallots with enough water to cover it.
Blend coconut with curd to a smooth paste. In the end add mustard seeds and just crush it.
Pour this solution to cooked hot tomato gravy. Mix well and remove from fire.
Season with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and red chillies in coconut oil.

Hi Seena,

Thank you for the recipe. This is my first recipe from your blog. I tried it yesterday at my home and it was a hit even with my husband who does'nt like tomatoes very much. I will try your non-veg recipes too now.

Thanks,

Ayesha
