Green Tomato Raita

Again, another of mom`s special recipe..The dish looks simple & yes, it is defineltely easy to make requiring very few ingredients. But don`t be fooled by the simplicity of this dish! This slightly tangy raita pairs well with Methi Pulao or any other pulao of your choice or even with plain rice.



Ingredients :
4-5 Green tomatoes
Curd
1-2 green chillies, cut into 2
salt to taste

For the tempering :
Ghee/ clarified butter
a tsp of mustard seeds
1-2 dry red chillies
5-6 curry leaves


Method :
* Cut the tomatoes into two & drop them in water & cook till they turn soft.
* Let cool a bit & then peel them. Add green & mash them with hands into tiny bits along with the chilles. By doing this the flavors of the chillies blend well with the tomatoes.
* Add the curd & salt & mix.
* For the tempering, heat the ghee & add the mustard, red chillies. Let the seeds splutter. Add the curry leaves and pour this tempering into the curd & tomato. Mix and serve with pulao/ pilaf, biryani, plain rice.
Enjoy & have a great meal!
