Green Tomatoes with Indian Spices image

Serve this as part of an Indian dinner or as a vegetarian main course with rice. It is not easy to buy green tomatoes here, I have once tried to make this with red tomatoes, don't bother it will turn into a pulp, you want the tomatoes still in a chunky state when cooked. To my taste buds this is hot and spicy, adjust the heat to your own preference

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb green tomato, approx
1/4 cup oil (for frying)
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds or 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
2 green chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped (or more)
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon mango powder or 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
salt
sugar
2 cloves crushed garlic

Steps:

  • Wash and quarter the tomatoes, if they are very large, halve the quarters again.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan; add the fenugreek and cumin seeds.
  • When they start to crackle add the tomatoes and green chilies, fry this for 2 minutes.
  • Add everything else except the garlic, stir, cover and cook for approx 6 minutes.
  • Uncover, add the garlic, turn up the heat and stir fry for 2/3 minutes, you will see that the oil which was separating first will now blend and make it more saucy together with the juices from the tomatoes.
