Sweet & Sour Tomatoes

This sweet & sour tomatoes recipe is one of my all-time favourite tomato dishes. From Rashmi at Rohet Garh, it epitomises the food of the desert – simple yet flavoursome.

Sweet & Sour Tomatoes

It can be served with other vegetable dishes and makes a great accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken, especially during summer when fresh, light flavors are in demand.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • 4 tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1½ teaspoons chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a kadhai or wok and fry the cumin and mustard seeds over a medium heat until they splutter.
  • Add the tomato and stir until coated with the seeds, then stir in the ground spices, salt and sugar.
  • Add 1 cup (250 ml) water, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes – not too long, or the tomato will break down. Sprinkle with the fresh coriander to serve.
