Onion-tomato curry
The name is not fancy....the curry is so easy to make - the recipe - simple to follow....but the taste is fantastic....Iam still drooling just thinking about it....can't think of any words that would do justice to the taste. The recipe is adapted from a Mallika Badrinath cookbook that I have. Let's get to it without further dialogue.
What you need:
Onion - 1 large, chopped fine
Tomato - 3 large very ripe ones, chopped
Green chilli - 4(adjust to suit your palate), minced
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Urad dal - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 2 tsp
Salt
Besan(gram flour) - 1/4 cup
Cilantro - to garnish
Heat oil. Add mustard seeds and urad dal. When dal turns reddish brown and seeds pop, add the green chillies and onion. Fry till onions turn translucent. Then add the tomatoes and salt. Saute for a few minutes. Make a smooth paste of besan with water....make sure there are no lumps. Stir this into the curry....stirring all the while so no lumps are formed. If necessary add some water and cook for a few minutes until desired consistency is reached.
Garnish with freshly cut cilantro.
This tastes great with chapatis which is what I had it with for dinner last night.
Oh....yeah....and if u do have any leftovers(hard to believe, but I did have some)...it makes a great spread for a breakfast sandwich.
Njoy!!!

Besan in the tomato-oinion curry is so unexpected! I can't wait to try it! :-)
BTW, I will be tagging you for a meme in the next couple days. No pressure. Go ahead only if you feel like it.
I love this chutney too..and definitely tastes great with chapathis. Its been a long time since I made chapathi's at home. Will try this combo soon.
Another thing I wanted to let you know is, even I used a moong dal + channa dal combo for my sweet pongal. I mentioned Toor dal by mistake and realised it only after my mother pointed it out last night. Sorry :-p
My tag is up, Jayashree. Like I said earlier, take it up if you want to and whenever you can.
One of my friend does this and will taste good for dosa and idly too. Thanks
The curry looks yummy. Looks like a wonderful combo for chapathis. :)
