Spiced Tomatoes

tamatar servedAnother simple vegetable curry to add to the growing list on my blog. Serve this dish as part of a curry

750g ripe tomatoes, peeled and quartered

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon cumin seed

1 teaspoon brown mustard seed

1 teaspoon turmeric

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 large onion, diced

2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

½ teaspoon, crushed dried red chilli

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon brown sugar

I cup chopped fresh coriander

To peel the tomatoes,  cut a small cross in the skin at the base.  Drop them into a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds, then into a bowl of iced water. The skins should now slip off easily.

In a pan, heat the oil, then add the spices, when the mustard seeds start to pop add the onion, garlic and ginger and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper until cook until the tomatoes begin to collapse, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the coriander.

Serve with steamed basmati rice.
