Tamatyachi Bhaji(Tamatar ki Subji/Tomato Vegetable)

Tomatoes are full of vitamins and essential nutrients, and are used in various forms such as fresh salad, juices, pureed, sauces, ketchups, bhaji/subji and so on. The recipe I am sharing here is a vegetable recipe using tomatoes as main ingredient and it serves as tasty accompaniment with chapatti, daal – rice or dosa too. This bhaji is a favourite one of my husband.

Ingredients

Tomatoes – 3 large

Onions – 2 medium

Curry Leaves – 10-12 nos

Green Chillies – 1-2 nos

Roasted Groundnut Powder – 100 gms

Garlic – 7-8 cloves

Red Chilly Powder – ½ teaspoon

Turmeric – ¼ teaspoon

Mustard Seeds – ½ teaspoon

Cumin seeds - ½ teaspoon

Asafoetida – A pinch

Salt – As per taste

Oil – 2 tablespoons

Sugar – 1 teaspoon

Method

Wash tomatoes and slice them lengthwise. Slice the onions too similarly. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves, chopped green chillies and cumin seeds and allow all to splutter. Then, add the onions and fry till light golden brown. Now, add the tomatoes, crushed garlic, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, salt and sugar and stir well. Cook for about 5-6 minutes and stir occasionally. Finally, add the roasted groundnut powder and cook for further 2 minutes. Remove from fire and tamatyachi bhaji is ready to be served.
