ABOUT Tomato Onion Sabji RECIPE

I absolutely like this tomato onion sabji for rotis. It's basically a tomato onion thokku. The main difference between this sabji and thokku is that it is made with fresh onions and tomatoes and it is chunkier than thokku.

Ingredients Serving: 3

2 onions
4 big tomatoes
2 green chillies
1/2 tsp Mustard
1/2 tsp Urid dal
few curry leaves
1 tsp red chilly powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
3 tbsp oil
Salt to taste

Instructions

Slice the onions thinly. Slice 2 tomatoes and grind 2 tomatoes.(Grinding the tomatoes is optional). To get a thick sabji I add both the sliced tomatoes and ground tomatoes). This is my mother's tip.
Heat oil in a kadai and add mustard and urid dal. When it splutters add the onions and green chillies. Saute it for few minutes until it turns soft.
Next add the tomatoes. Stir and saute them on low flame. When the tomatoes turn soft add the tomato paste and saute. Do not hurry up. Saute them well.
Add the red chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder. Mix them well and add the required salt.
Add 1 cup of water and allow them to boil for 10 minutes. When the oil floats on the top of the sabji switch off the flame and transfer it to the serving dish.
