STUFFED TOMATOES

                                                               This is one of my favourite subzi's.whenever we go to a restaurant we order since it is not very simple one to make often at home.But once in a while you need to cook such exoticdishes too so i decided to make it today.

  • One tsp Garam masala powder
  • Half a tsp of Chili powder

2.In a vessel mash the potatoes,add peas or corn(i used corn)cut chili,coriander leaves,salt and cumin powder,mix well  and stuff it tin to the scooped tomatoes and keep aside.
3.In a pan heat oil crackle cumin seeds and fry onions till brown,then add tomato pulp(scooped),ginger garlic paste,turmeric,chili,coriander,cumin powders and fry till the raw smell goes.
4.Add garam masala powder and fry for a minute,add some water and place the tomatoes in the centre and cover and cook for two minutes.you will see a crack in the tomato.

This looks so yummy - I saw a recipe in the New York Times for stuffed eggplant recently, as well. I should try both out.
