Tomato Gothsu

                                                                                 Tomato Gothsu one of my favourite accompaniment.In fact i love tomatoes in any form chutney,gothsu,kurma,rasam etc.It is rich in colour and taste and it cooks really fast.My father used to love tomatoes too.My mother used to puree the tomatoes and add in rasam everyday so all of us got used to the taste of tomatoes.
Tomato Gothsu is a simple dish(accompaniment) made without onions and garlic in my house.It tastes great with idli,dosa,uthappam,arisi upma and Pongal.
