This tomato curry is one of our family favorite (chaaru curry). The curry is a nice change from the usual sambar/rasam/moru routine. The tomato blends so well with coconut in this
recipe that gives a nice flavor. When eaten with rice, it just leaves you wanting
for more. Try this ….. you won’t be disappointed.
