Tomato Gojju
Though not native to India, Tomatoes play a significant role in Indian cooking. Especially the North Indian subjis cannot be imagined without tomato and it's dear friend onion. The lycopene rich tomatoes never fail to contribute their delicious flavor to the dishes they are a part of and still go unnoticed. I always feel like that they are like a bunch of side dancers in Indian movie numbers who never take the center stage. There are a few exceptions, though where tomato is the king. Here is one such simple dish (in terms of preparation), 'Tomato Gojju' where tomato doesn't have to play a second fiddle to other veggies.
In our family, Tomato gojju used to be our number one preferred dish along with pooris when ever we went on a long train ride, back in India. It is a simple veggie preparation which is hard to screw up even for beginners. Just fry some juicy red tomatoes with onions and see how beautifully the dish brings out the flavor of tomatoes.
