An easy Yellow Tomato curry

On Wednesdays I go to church after my work for a short session of prayer. Since our Jacobite church is closer to my work and far from home, I find it more convenient to attend an evening prayer every week.(otherwise we are occasional visitors to our church). While driving back I was thinking what is for dinner. Anyway I am not going to make chapati today, I don't have the mood for that. I need to make something easy. In my mind I scanned the reserved veggies in my refrigerator(of course I was driving in 65miles/hr. I had lot of time to think and scan because it is 37 miles drive for me to home).
Tomato curry popped up in mind because I don't need to waste lot of time to cut vegetables and one of my favourites dish when I was growing up in Kerala. My mother used make it very often. Very few ingredients and takes only very less time. Tomato curry , rice and pappadam is a real luxury for me. Usually I try to reduce coconut in my cooking to keep a control over my loving hubby's cholesterol. He likes this curry so much (he had this for the first time when I made that for him). Our 5 year old ABCD (American Born Confused Desi) doesn't care what he has for dinner as long as I feed him keeping his favourite channel on.

The recipe follows:-

get these items ready

Tomato (small firm ones) - 3 nos.
Red Onion (small) - 1 no
Green Chillies - 4 nos.
Ginger - ¼ inch piece
Garlic - 1 small pod
Cumin seed - ½ tsp
Turmeric powder - ½ tsp
mustard seeds
curry leaves
dried red chillies whole - 3 nos.
grated coconut - ¾ cup
salt - according to your taste.
before heating your pan

Cut each tomato lengthwise (approximately into 6 pieces). Split the green chillies lengthwise. Cut red onions lengthwise into thin pieces.

Grind coconut, cumin seeds, ginger and garlic into a fine paste (if your grated coconut is frozen, add some warm water to it and keep it aside for 10min. The coconut will be soft when you grind it)

Method:-

In a pan cook cut tomatoes, chillies , onions with turmeric powder and ¼cup of water. Cook it covered, don't overcook tomatoes (around 5-8 min). Keep the flame in the lowest point of the burner. Add the ground coconut mix. Turn the flame to 'medium' point and allow to boil the mix enough that bubbles come from all sides of the pan. Transfer the curry to a bowl. In the pan heat 2 teaspoon full of oil, add the mustard seed and allow to splutter, add dried red chillies and curry leaves. Garnish the curry with this.

Serve hot with Cooked Jasmine rice(white rice), achar and pappadam

Hello,
appreciate your efforts. This is useful not just for newly weds but also for poor F-1 mallu students in the US(primarily boys) who have to learn to cook and typically cook for 3 other roomates much tougher than the wife of a software engineer..

Hi Asha,
You have a nice blog with a lot of good tips for people coming here for the first time.
Don't be too concerned about language while you blog.(you mentioned something about that in an earlier post). Language is just for communication.If people understand what you are saying, it is good enough!
I have been living in the US for a bit now and will soon be moving to Philly... If you don't mind my asking...whereabouts in Philly are you? The information you have given about the Indian grocery stores is very informative. Thanks a whole bunch!

We are in the south-western suburbs of Philly. Actually in the border of Delaware(good place for tax free shopping, especially electronics) and Pennsylvania(clothing and shoes are tax free in PA, otherwise 6% tax)

I'm in a love-hate relationship with digital memory because of how prices are always,and I mean always falling. I hate buying Micro SD Cards for my R4 / R4i at (seemingly) a crazy bargain price only to see it become a whole lot more cheaper a few weeks later.
