Directions
This sweet & sour tomatoes recipe is one of my all-time favourite tomato dishes. From Rashmi at Rohet Garh, it epitomises the food of the desert – simple yet flavoursome. It can be served with other vegetable dishes and makes a great accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken, especially during summer when fresh, light flavours are in demand.
How To Prepare Sweet & Sour Tomatoes
1. Heat the oil in a kadhai or wok and fry the cumin and mustard seeds over a medium heat until they splutter. Add the tomato and stir until coated with the seeds, then stir in the ground spices, salt and sugar.
2. Add 1 cup (250 ml) water, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes – not too long, or the tomato will break down. Sprinkle with the fresh coriander to serve.
