Tomato gojju / Tomato gravy recipe

Tomato gojju/ gravy is the easiest and quickest side dish for Dosa/ Chapati / Akki rotti which can be prepared under 10 to 15 minutes. It's one of my favourite with Akki rotti. This gravy can be prepared in another way by adding coconut and few other spices. I will post the recipe further. For today, I am posting this quickest version of tomato gojju recipe.

Ingredients :

• Tomatoes - 3, chopped finely
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Curry leaves - few
• Green / red chillies - 3 to 4, slit
• Onion - 1 big, sliced
• Green peas - 1/2 cup
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
• Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp ( optional)
• Oil - 2 tsp
• Coriander leaves - 2 sprigs, chopped finely

Preparing Tomato gravy:

• Heat oil in a cooking pot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
• Then add Cumin seeds, curry leaves and green chillies one after another and fry for a minute.
  
• Add the sliced onions and fry until translucent. 
• Add the green peas and let it cook for a minute.
  
• Then add the chopped tomatoes, salt and turmeric powder. Mix well and let cook until the tomatoes are soft and mushy. If required, add chilli powder and mix. Tomatoes release water and thereby giving a gravy like texture. If the mixture seems to be dry, add 1/4 cup of water and let cook for few more minutes.
  
  
• Once the mixture gets cooked, finish it off by adding coriander leaves. 
  
• This is a perfect side dish for Dosa/ Chapati/ Akki rotti.
