Tamater ki launji

Tomatoes 8 medium

Turmeric powder ½ tsp

Wash and cut tomatoes into wedges. Wash and slit green chillies.

Heat ghee to a smoking point and add cumin seeds.

Cumin seeds when added to hot oil turn to a dark color immediately; this releases its flavour instantly.

Add all the spices, tomatoes, salt and sugar.

Stir nicely and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on high flame until the tomatoes are slightly tender.

Do not overcook as the curry may turn into a sauce.

Garnish with green chillies.
