Tomato Gojju

Tomato Gojju is what we called it in Kannada. It can be called a chutney or a sauce, can be eaten with chapati or phulka. In the south it is eaten with dosas. The addition of onion makes it even more tasty though I personally prefer it made only with tomatoes. The slight crunch and the sweetness of the jaggery and  onions, the sourness from the tomatoes and the spice from the saar masala makes the dish a treat!! Here goes my recipe, infact my Ajji's recipe. Hers was the tastiest one I have ever eaten in my life. I could never bring the punch that she brought in certain dishes. Miss her immensely for all those specialities!!

Ingredients

3 tomatoes chopped finely
3 onions chopped into small squares
Small bunch coriander chopped into small squares
Salt to taste
1/4 cup grated jaggery
1 tspn saar masala (my recipe on my page added previously)
1 tspn chilli powder

Method

In a pan take oil add mustard seeds, let them splutter, add asafoetida, turmeric powder and then the onions, let them turn golden, add all the rest of the ingredients, mix well, let them become mushy and well cooked, do not cover and cook since we do not want any water in the recipe. Once done transfer into a serving bowl ad coriander for garnishing. Serve hot with chapati, phulka and dahi bhat that is curd rice.
