Tomatoes are usually used as an ingredient in some vegetable, curry or Dal but very rarely as a main ingredient in itself. This dish is something that you can make when you are in a rush and have absolutely no time to prepare some elaborate vegetable. This is my favorite when it comes to preparing quick lunch :)
A recipe taught by a friend of mine on one of those days when your friends land up on your doorstep to stay over and you are at a loss with two of your major ammunitions not firing i.e MOM and Vegetable supplies :D
Tastes good with rotis or as a side dish.
