Tomato Saar is deliciously tangy and soupy curry that you can make for a quick meal. My mom would prepare this often back home, we all loved it! I have no idea on the whereabouts of this dish and I won’t be surprised if it’s called something else somewhere else.
Ingredients I used:
– 3 large tomatoes (they are the size of my palm) you can use 4 medium sized tomatoes
– water for boiling
– 1 tbsp oil
– 1/4 to 1/2 tsp mustard and cumin seeds each
– pinch of hing
– few curry leaves, 8-10
– salt to taste
– 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
– 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
– 1 and 1/4 tsp coriander powder
– 1 tsp jeera powder
Procedure:
– Score the tomatoes with a sharp knife
– Boil them for 8-10 mins
– Blend them once they cool – you can keep the peel on, it’s entirely optional
– In hot oil add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, hing and curry leaves
РPour the tomato pur̩e and add all your masalas
Serve hot with some piping hot rice. Enjoy!
