LAL TOMATO CHE BHARIT

Tomato che bharit is similar to vangyache bharit recipe. This tastes amazing when served as a side dish with roti or dal-chawal. It is very popular vegetarian side dish in Maharashtra. As easy, quick and healthy recipe and a great pick for the days you feel lazy to cook. This is my aai’s version which she used to make when we are small kids and I just loved it. Tomato bharit is very flavourful and we feel spicy and sour taste at a time. Here I added green chillies but you can substitute it with red chilli powder. You can make it more flavourful by adding chopped spring onion in it. This tastes best when served with jowar bhakri. The people in villages, collect some fresh tomatoes while returning from farm, roast them over coals and add roasted green chillies, salt and mash it roughly and serve it. However, it is not feasible for everyone to have that kind of arrangement. So roasting them over stove top and for green chillies skillet works. Try this in your kitchen and share your feedbacks in comment box below. Happy Cooking…!!!!
